The Newfoundland Rock are a Canadian rugby union team based in St. John's, Newfoundland. The team plays in the Rugby Canada Super League and draws most of its players from the Newfoundland Rugby Union, one of fourteen Rugby Unions that have rep teams in the RCSL.
The Rock play their "home" games at Swilers Rugby Park in St. John's.
During the eighth season of the Super League the Rock became the first team from the East to win the league Championship defeating the Prairie Fire (26-13) and again the following season (28-14).
[edit] History
In 1998, Rugby Canada and the provincial unions agreed to form the Rugby Canada Super League. Fourteen unions and sub-unions were invited to compete in the new semi-professional league.
