The Penguins were formed in 1959 by the late Tony Mason and Alan Wright with the principal objective of fostering by coaching, training, traveling and playing the growth, goodwill and camaraderie of Rugby Football Union throughout the world. The club is recognized as one of the most widely travel-ed sports clubs in the world having played in or against teams from 58 countries and been represented by players from 30 nations.

This year’s team has three players from last year’s successful COBRA 10s team (Mesake Davu, Willy Hafu and Marc Camburn) whilst the majority of the rest of the team are representing the Penguins for the first time including Maori All Blacks Tony Penn, Scott Waldrom and James Rodley, New Zealand 7s representatives Scott Waldrom, Marc Camburn and Matua Parkinson and Fiji and Fiji 7s players Mesake Davu and Vereniki Goneva. John McKittrick will coach the team again whilst Craig Brown will be the manager.
