During the period of hostilities the Club provided over a thousand games of cricket and rugby for servicemen from all parts of the British Commonwealth.

After the war the Club became open, though still by invitation only; a player is invited to become a Wanderer because they are a credit to their sport (be it cricket or rugby) and will enter into the spirit of maintaining the high standards of play and conduct achieved by generations of preceding club members.

The club colours are red (representing the morning sky), green (for the playing field) and pink (of the setting sun).

Nomadic by tradition, the club continues to play representative matches and to tour developing rugby countries, true to their roots – a combination of youth and experience.

Though the club has evolved to match the developments in the sport, it still measures its success not by victories but by its established tradition of playing entertaining rugby.
