History
The Hamburg Exiles were formed in 1966 by players of both FC St. Pauli Rugby and Hamburger RC. The event that cause the foundation of the club was a change in the rules of the German Rugby Federation which limited the amount of foreign players which could be field during a match. Foreign born players, feeling that their clubs had not protected them from the rule changes decided to fund a new club with a more international orientation.[3]
