Most of the members of the team made it into the Suva Representative side that won the Farebrother for Suva in 1963. The next year the Lodoni Rugby Team moved to Rewa and so did the Farebrother Sullivan trophy for the first time, such was the history of this great team. Most members of the team made it to the Fiji Representative side.

The following are the names of some of the members of the team; Suliasi Cavu (FRU secretary), Joeli Naucabalvu (Fiji No.8 1964 tour to Wales), Sailosi Kepa (Captain /Coach), Vilikesa Mocelutu (Fiji Rep and Fiji Captain), Josateki Nasova (Fiji Rep), Rt Jope Seniloli (Fiji Rep) (Vice President), Luke Tunabuna (Common wealth games silver medalist), Waisake Kedraika, Para Siliota Weleilakeba, Master Saula Ledua (Ist RKS Deans team trophy coach -1964).

What was supposed to be the first RKS old boy's team was formed in the mid 70s by some former old boys namely; Taito Rauluni Jo Rauto, Mosese Tamata and Mosese Tutu, up in Nasinu. The team was then named the Nasinu Rugby Club, as it was comprised mainly of young boys from the Nasinu area. Jo Rauto, Taito Rauluni and Mo Tamata made it into the Fiji Team and so did many of their young cavaliers including Waisale Serevi (ex Lelean).

The first RKSOB team to play in the Suva Rugby Competition was formed in the late 70s by a prominent old boy who had always had the Old Boys Association at heart, Vilisoni Atama. It was so that he even told his son (Vilisoni Atama) a former sprinter of MBHS that if he were to play for the St John Marist Club he has to find another home well you would have guessed what happened. Some prominent names of the RKSOB team then were; Apisai Sesewa (Fisheries), Josefa Dulakiverata (Chief Valuer - Lands), Ilisoni Taoba (Manager - FDB), Jope Nacaubalavu (Jnr) (NLTB - Deceased), Alipate Takavesi (USP), Samu (Telecom) and Ravunivadra (FEA). Later Viliame Salabogi, Penisoni Moce, Alowesi Elder, Josua Sereki, Rupeni Seru and Conway Begg who joined the team straight after leaving RKS in 1982. Many other old boys were baptized into the world of senior rugby outside of the Deans competition when they joined with the RKSOB team in Suva's rugby competition.

Not to forget those other members (friends and former old boys of other schools) those were not former students of RKS and have always had RKS Rugby Club in their heart. They used to come down to the RKSOB Club House (Paka Tree in Albert Park No.3) to wait for the team training every afternoon and the game every Saturday. One such person was always known as "knife and fork", or shorten as "Fork" from Soso, Naceva, Kadavu. Saiasi (Fork) (whose elder brother was an old boy and currently a teacher at RKS) is still with the RKSOB team as the team's mentor. If you happen to watch the team's game preparation every Saturday you would see him delivering that last punch to the team just before the game (Experience Counts!).
