The Barossa Rams Rugby Club is a South Australian rugby union club from the Barossa Valley wine region and based in the town of Lyndoch, 58 km northeast of Adelaide. [1]

History

The team was founded in 1977 as the Roseworthy College Rugby Club. [1] The college subsequently became part of University of Adelaide in 1991 and, when the funding for rugby was withdrawn by the college in 2006, [3] the club relocated to Lyndoch and became the Barossa Rams. [1] In 2013 the Rams were promoted to Premier Grade in the South Australian Rugby competition. [5]
