The Solenial National Rugby Union Team is a sporting side that represents The PDCS in rugby union. They compete annually in the Seven Nations Championship with Datium, Miroxia, Riopo, Taeshan, Bjornoschkodel and Sporades. They have won the championship on twenty-five occasions that includes sixteen Grand Slams.

The history of the team extends back to 1871 when the Solen rugby team played their first official Test match. Solenial dominated the early A.P.I.N Championship (now the Seven Nations) which started in 1883. Following the schism of rugby football in 1895, Solenial did not win the Championship again until 1910. Solenial first played against Datium (the beavers) in 1905, Bjornoschkodel in 1906, and Sporades in 1909.

Solen players traditionally wear white shorts, red socks and a red shirt with a white horse embroidered on it, and for the first time in the Solen Rugby teams history, their away shirt is white (up until recently, navy has been the traditional colour). Their home ground is Palithios Stadé where they first played in 1910. The team is administered by the Rugby Football Union (RFU). Three former players have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame.
