Straight outta the concrete jungle of Manila, the Toucans are making their maiden flight to the Taiwan 10s.
This squad is a glorious fusion of the most elite social club players in Manila — a line-up of predominantly forwards who have been dreaming of playing in the open field. Don't be fooled by the suspicious beer bellies though; the Toucans are deceivingly quick, blessed with silky hands and a kicking game so undeniable it should probably come with a warning label.
We're fully prepared to mix thunderous big hits on the pitch with even bigger nights off it. On the field, expect forward dominance, cheeky offloads, speculative kicks that somehow find touch, and plenty of "that wasn't a knock-on, ref!" moments. Off the field, you'll find us double wielding the finest Taipei brews and taking in the sights and sounds of Taipei nightlife.
Watch the skies, Taiwan — a new bird is landing, and it's large, colourful, and probably a bit hungover.
Toucans RFC – Who Can?!?! Toucans!!!

本校橄欖球隊係於民國52年由病理科陳定堯教授與黃德修教授組成，當時校友包括：前任本校李宏信董事，以及黃博正、李曙光、彭宏治、蘇文昌、蔡理里等人。北醫橄欖球隊當時即以紅色、白色及黑色分別代表熱情、純潔與堅忍設計球衣、褲，且第一次出賽即榮獲亞軍。民國55年時國內橄欖球名將林鎮岱老師應聘至本校服務，並帶領球隊從民國57至民國61年連續贏得五專組冠軍，民國61年醫技系的橄欖球隊學生更應邀至日本藥科與齒科大學參訪。民國67年時在現本校雙和醫院吳麥斯院長，以及當時醫學系杜元坤、曾兆麟、吳烈澄及江豐任等校友的努力下，甚至取得全國橄欖球錦標賽大專盃7人制與15人制的雙料亞軍，足見本校橄欖球隊為本校極具代表性之運動團隊，且其過去輝煌的歷史更為國內首屈一指的傳統勁旅。
民國91年時擁有多年國家代表隊經驗及全國運動會金牌資歷的李政吉老師，更放棄代表國家參加亞洲奧林匹克運動會的機會進入本校體育處服務，當年的球員曾國彰等球員隨即懇請李老師協助進行指導，此後球隊亦在民國92年取得台北市青年杯橄欖球第三名的成績。然而在時空背景與各項條件不佳之下，球隊之後即因招生困難不得不走向解散的命運。近年來本校在吳麥斯副校長的帶領下，於105年招募具運動科學研究能力與橄欖球執教能力的楊明達老師進入本校服務，並負責重建本校橄欖球隊榮耀計畫，未來本校更會將橄欖球做為重點發展之運動項目。
本校因屬醫學大學強調人溺己溺之精神，所想之處皆以對國家與社會及國人有益為主，爰希透過本校橄欖球隊之發展，得以使我國橄欖球發展能更進一步，甚至能接合本校資源發展運動醫學專業，讓國家與本校更具國際競爭力。
Founded in 1963 by Pathology Professor Chen Ding-yao and Professor Huang De-xiu, TMU Rugby's earliest alumni included former TMU board member Lee Hung-hsin, along with Huang Po-cheng, Lee Shu-kuang, Peng Hung-chih, Su Wen-chang and Tsai Li-li. The team's red, white and black kit — representing passion, purity and perseverance — was unveiled at their first tournament, where they finished as runners-up. In 1966, national rugby star Lin Chen-tai joined the school as coach and led the team to five consecutive Junior College Division titles from 1968 through 1972; that same year the medical-technology squad was invited to tour Japanese pharmaceutical and dental universities.
By 1978, under the leadership of current Shuang-Ho Hospital Superintendent Wu Mai-si — alongside med-school alumni Tu Yuan-kun, Tseng Chao-lin, Wu Lieh-cheng, Chiang Feng-jen and others — TMU captured runner-up in both the 7-aside and 15-aside divisions of the National Collegiate Rugby Championships, cementing the team as one of TMU's most representative athletic programs and one of Taiwan's leading traditional rugby powerhouses.
In 2002, Lee Cheng-chi — a multi-year national team veteran and National Games gold medallist — joined the TMU Office of Physical Education, even passing up a chance to represent Taiwan at the Asian Olympics. Players like Tseng Kuo-chang immediately enlisted him as coach, and the team took third place at the 2003 Taipei City Youth Cup. Recruitment difficulties eventually forced the program to disband. In recent years, under Vice President Wu Mai-si's leadership, the school recruited Coach Yang Ming-da — a sports-science researcher and qualified rugby coach — in 2016 to lead the program's rebuild, with rugby now identified as a priority development sport for TMU.
As a medical university built on the ethos of caring for others as one's own, TMU centres everything it does on the benefit of the nation, society and the people. Through the development of our rugby program, we hope to advance Taiwanese rugby further and, by combining the school's resources to develop sports-medicine expertise, to make both the country and the school more internationally competitive.

台南市私立長榮高級中學橄欖球隊創立於1947年，為南部橄欖球的重要起點。早期由學生自製橄欖球起步，逐步發展成全國強權，曾在全國賽事中擊敗強敵建中，終結其長年19連霸紀錄，奠定南部球隊地位。歷經1985年停隊低潮，球隊一度中斷傳承，直到2002年在校友回歸支持下重新組建，逐步重返榮耀。近年持續於全國賽事中爭冠，展現深厚底蘊與堅強文化，是台灣橄欖球具代表性的傳統勁旅。
Chang Jung Senior High School Rugby Team, a private school program in Tainan, was founded in 1947 and became one of the key starting points for rugby in southern Taiwan. The team began with students making their own rugby balls, then grew into a national power. It famously defeated traditional powerhouse Chien Kuo High School in national competition, ending Chien Kuo's long 19-title winning streak and establishing the standing of southern teams. After the program was suspended in 1985, its lineage was interrupted until alumni returned in 2002 to support its reconstruction and gradually bring it back to prominence. In recent years Chang Jung has continued to contend for national titles, showing deep roots and a strong culture as one of Taiwan rugby's representative traditional forces.

Severe Storm Warning: The Taichung Typhoons are making landfall at the Taipei 10s.
Nobody knows what the forecast will bring. Including us.
We may hit hard, tear through tackles, and leave teams strewn across the field. Or we may drift sideways and become a light afternoon shower with sore hamstrings.
Whatever happens, expect heavy contact. Scattered tries. Sudden gusts of bad decision-making. And serious post-match dehydration.
With players from South Africa, Taiwan, and one Australian caught in the wind, the Typhoons are proud to represent Taichung for the first time.
Huge thanks to our sponsor, Welcome to Taiwan, for backing the Typhoons and helping us bring the storm north.

National Taiwan University Rugby (國立台灣大學橄欖球隊) traces its origins to the 'Water Buffalo Team' (水牛隊) founded in 1946 by NTU Medical School faculty and students — one of Taiwan's oldest collegiate rugby programs, now in its 73rd year.
In December 2024 they completed a three-peat at the Yuan Kun Cup (元坤盃) University Rugby Invitational, defeating Seoul National University 27–5 in the final, with team captain Lin Chi-heng (林祺恒) named MVP.

In 2006, the Japanese rugby team began its activities in earnest. Its name is FIVEWOODS — chosen because many members frequented Linsen North Road (林森北路), a Japanese entertainment district in Taipei whose name contains the five-trees character (森).
The members are mainly Japanese, but it's an international team that also includes Taiwanese and other foreigners. The team mainly participates in 10s tournaments.
We feel it is very meaningful to participate in the Taiwan 10s — as one of the few foreign teams active in Taiwan, joining a tournament hosted by the same foreign team in Taiwan and an old friend, the Baboons. It's a very fun tournament every year, and we look forward to participating again this year.
Featured player: Makoto Notomi (WTB).

Team motto: "In Chuck We Trust."
We are a tribute team to Chuck Norris. You will see us channel the power of Chuck Norris's spirit — opposing teams knock on the ball the moment they see Chuck coming for them.
No one tackles Chuck Norris without requiring shoulder reconstruction afterwards. Chuck Norris doesn't do scrums; he is the solution. Chuck Norris doesn't do penalties; he roundhouse-kicks the ball into orbit. All opposition attempts to score a Try will be DENIED, by order of Chuck Norris.
They tried to put Chuck Norris's face on Mount Rushmore, but the granite wasn't tough enough for his beard.

The Mockingbirds also field a Vets' squad alongside their Men's Open side at this year's tournament.
