History

It was also known as Morgan Rugby Club or Morgan Dundee, having dropped the restriction on solely former academy pupils playing for the club.[3]
Merger
[edit | edit source]The club merged with Dundee HSFP to form a new club Dundee Rugby in 2021. One of the main reasons for the merger was to consolidate rugby union club in Dundee and then attempt to get the new club into the professional Super 6 league.[1]
