The RFU have now confirmed that Rugby has returned to Phase A

Following news of the national lockdown, the RFU has moved back to Stage A of the Return to Rugby roadmap.

Unfortunately in simple terms all Community Rugby is now suspended until 2nd December 2020.

This is a legal requirement as the legislation prevents any gathering of more than 2 people and the exemption for amateur sport has been removed.

Two people are able to train together but cannot share equipment including the ball.

For full details follow the below Link;

We share the frustrations of many and will return to Rugby as soon as it is lawful and safe to do so. We will of course provide updates when the situation changes.

Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe.
