Return to Rugby Roadmap update
The RFU confirm that their action plan to a safe and phased return to grassroots rugby activity has moved to Stage C
The Return to Community Rugby Roadmap has been updated to show a move from Stage B to Stage C from 8th August 2020.
The rugby community is now able to recommence some larger group rugby activity, initially non-contact, subject to adherence with RFU guidance.
Any return is a decision for individual clubs to make and they must continue to follow government Coronavirus (Covid-19) guidelines, along with any local government lockdown restrictions that may be introduced.
The return will initially be through non-contact rugby focused on Ready4Rugby, a non-contact game, enabling two teams of up to 10 players to engage in training and match activity in their own club environment. Subject to satisfactory operation through August the RFU hope to then be able to move to inter-club Ready4Rugby in September.
