The Steelers' claim to the title of the "world's first gay rugby club" is based on the fact that South Africa 's Jamieson Raiders (founded in 1985) are an annual invitation team, rather than a registered club playing seasonal fixtures. Additionally, the Sydney-based POOFTAs (also founded in 1985) play touch rugby rather than matches under the Union Code . Training started at the beginning of 1996 and the club joined the Surrey County Union in the summer of 1996. The first game under RFU rules took place on 21 September 1996 when they played Orleans Former Pupils at Stawberry Hill (lost 92-10), followed by London Cornish 3 a week later. SEE ALSO
