The Nomads RFC was created in 1993 to provide playing and social opportunities for players not involved in the Six Nations competition and is generally described as being the women's equivalent of men's rugby's Barbarians as teams include internationals, or near internationals, from several countries.
Until 2008 all of their matches had taken place in England or Wales, against either England A or the Welsh national team. However, in the August 2008 a Nomad team toured outside the UK for the first time when they visited South Africa, playing two games against the national team as curtain raisers to two men's tri-nations internationals.
