RFU Return to rugby

Camquin wrote: There was a piece on Today a few days ago where RFU and Moseley were making that point.  Getting coverage in the media is hard - and the RFU has chosen to only talk about England and the 12 chosen clubs for 20 years. People know about small soccer clubs because they hear the classified results every Saturday. You could be forgiven for thinking that there are only ever 6 games of Rugby played in England.

You really surprised Moseley involved: Number of players they have signed including Johnson they are in need of every penny through the gate they can get.

The RFU have acted as quickly as they could, once the rules had been tightened. They have also made clear to the DCMS the need to support community clubs which are in danger of closure. The DCMS asked this week for details of clubs facing imminent closure. The NCA has yet to decide between a 15 match season or a round robin league with a Cup at the end. Whatever happens we will need our volunteers now. We had 60+ at training tonight, 2 bar staff and 5 volunteers providing table service in 3 rooms. That will be the pattern from now on until restrictions are eased.

Sorry, what relevance has this got when we won't be starting until September 2021 (if we are lucky)? The NCA has no say in the matter. Your club is new to Level 4. That and Level 3 are the member Clubs of the NCA and have control over their competitions within the RFU framework. NCA Clubs were asked in August what they wanted for this season and rejected, for example, a 45 match season, i.e. 15 this year added to 30 next year. You can only speculate that there will be no rugby before September, I am working on what has actually been said which is that rugby could be played from January.

I am not political But I think every tackle bag should have a picture of Cummings on it and The Sage Ctte should be loaned out for Rucking practice.
Just a thought. After testing of cohazelnut

something strange with the web site
