'''Richmond Rugby Club''' is a [[rugby union]] club in [[Richmond, London|Richmond]], [[London]], [[England]]. It is a founding member of the [[Rugby Football Union]], and is one of the [[oldest football clubs]] (of any code). It fields teams in both men's and women's rugby; the men's first team currently play in [[National League 1]] following their relegation from the [[RFU Championship]] at the end of the 2022–23 season, while the [[Richmond Women|women's first team]] play in the Women's Championship.
==History==
Formed in 1861, it is one of the
Richmond always traditionally played without a number 13 (similar to Bath) – the outside centre would wear 14, right wing 15 and fullback 16. However, during the professional era they adopted squad numbering; meaning rather than rugby's usual method of giving numbers 1–15 to the starting line-up, players were assigned a number for the season, as seen in football. Back in the amateur leagues, Richmond returned to their traditional numbering system before promotion to the National Leagues in 2008 saw them forced to adopt the uniform 1–15 numbering system according to RFU laws.
Line 44 ⟶ 51:
The coach, Brett Taylor, laid out plans for the club to be in National League 2 South in two seasons, and attempts were made to structure the colts teams into an effective feeder system for the 1st XV. However, during summer 2008, London Scottish were boosted financially and subsequently signed Taylor as their head coach.
Richmond appointed Geoff Richards to take his place. Following two years in National League Two, Geoff Richards decided not to renew his contract citing differences in opinion between the board and himself on how the club should move forward.
In 2009–10 Richmond appointed Oxford University Director of Rugby Steve Hill to take over after fourteen years in charge of the university side. Within two years (summer 2011) promotion was achieved and Richmond played in [[National League 1]] until the end of the [[2015-16 National League 1|

==Youth==
Line 66 ⟶ 73:
Richmond also have a local rivalry with [[Barnes Rugby Football Club|Barnes]] who they have recently frequently played as both sides sought to move into the national leagues.
At youth level, Richmond's strongest rivalry tends to be with nearby [[Rosslyn Park F.C.|Rosslyn Park]]. A Richmond vs Rosslyn Park game is always surrounded by controversy of some sort, which is the same for just about any team that plays against Rosslyn Park.
