Can we get back to training? Below is a handy infographic to give clear guidelines on what you can and cannot do.
In summary the following is now allowed in relation to training.
- Club players may now train in pods of 6 as long as they maintain the two meter personal distance guidance.
- Up to 4 pods of 6 may train together on a full sized rugby pitch.
- Balls may now be used in these training pods as long as attention is paid to regular hand cleaning using hand sanitising gel.
- This guidance applies to Age-Grade, Men’s and Women’s Rugby training.
- In addition parents are permitted to watch Age Grade training as long as they observe the normal distancing rule.

Further adjustments to advice are expected on July 1st however the RFU have also published another useful Infographic demonstrating the 6 stage sequence for return to play. Currently we are at stage 2 and commencement to move beyond 2 will depend on Government advice and the control of COVID infection in the coming weeks.
