Having finished second in the league, EURFC's BUCS Super Rugby side secured the BUCS National Championship for the first time since 2016, with a 14–13 victory over Durham University in the final, whilst their Saturday XV side secured the South West Premier league title and with it, promotion to National 2 for the first time in the history of the club.

The origins of the Exeter University Rugby Football Club can be traced back to the old sides of St Luke's College.

The 1960s and 1970s witnessed regular fixtures between St Luke's College and clubs such as Bristol, Gloucester, Rosslyn Park and Wasps.

These games proved to be some of the most exhilarating and exciting matches played during this period and ensured that both sides would be remembered as two of the most powerful student rugby clubs of all time.

When St Luke's College finally amalgamated with the University of Exeter in 1978, many saw this as an end of an era for student rugby in the south-west of England.

Former students Richard Hill, John Scott, David Sole and Jeff Squire have all been selected to captain their respective countries.

Ollie Leatherbarrow[6] and Rob Gordon[7] both represented Scotland U20s in the Six Nations, whilst Will Yarnell, Josh Barton, Fin Richardson and Tom Hitchcock were all selected in the England Students squad to take on France Universities at Kingston Park.
