Rosslyn Park 7s 2026: The “Mud-Bath” Edition – Full Results & Champions
The 87th edition of the Rosslyn Park National Schools 7s has concluded, cementing its place as one of the most physically demanding and historic chapters in the tournament’s 87-year history. From March 23rd to the Grand Finale on Friday, March 27th, 2026, the London mud at Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields tested the grit of over 10,000 players across 20 pitches.
This year, the narrative was defined by tactical brilliance in extreme conditions and a shift in the traditional power dynamics of schoolboy rugby. While established giants like Harrow School and Millfield reclaimed their thrones in the U18 Cup and U16 Colts respectively, the tournament also celebrated the rise of state school excellence with Y Pant’s historic U14 victory.
