"With the increased uncertainly caused by Government’s additional restrictions to curb the
increase in Covid-19 cases across the country, the decision has been made so that we can provide clubs with some certainty over the next few months.

Under powers delegated by Council, the RFU Governance Committee today made a difficult decision that, with the exception of Premiership, Championship and Premier 15s rugby, no organised* RFU or non-RFU Leagues including merit tables, adult or age grade competitions will be played before January 2021 at the earliest.

The rugby community can continue to organise non-contact fixtures with other clubs using Ready4Rugby and other touch rugby activity. Limited and restricted contact rugby training can also be continued. The RFU continues to be in active dialogue with
government about moving to Stage E on the Road map should we reach this point at any time before Christmas, competitive friendly matches could commence."

Sad time for the rugby world at this time but better to be safe than sorry. Remember: Hands - Face - Space
