The Rugby Football Union has received guidance from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) that there can be respectful continuation of sport at all levels this weekend.

The RFU statement is as follows:
"Our teams, players, families and supporters want to come together to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and to be united in our grief.

Rugby, at its heart, is about community and bringing people together in good times and sad. Rugby clubs are a source of strength and support during times of uncertainty and we hope that by enabling games and other rugby activities this weekend, families and friends can congregate and help us all unite at this time of national mourning."

Rugby Fit
As a mark of respect, Rugby Fit will be cancelled tonight (Friday 9 September 2022). It will be on again on Friday 16 September

Training on Sunday
Training for all teams will be taking place on Sunday. It will be started by a minutes silence at the memorial garden in Nunroyd Park (near to New Road (A65)) at 10.30am. All of our players, families and friends are asked to join us for a minutes silence to honour and remember Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

Fun Day
Having sought the guidance from the RFU and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, we have decided to go ahead with our planned Fun Day. We will, however, be collecting for The Prince's Trust, in tribute to the Royal Family. The decision to go ahead with the Fun Day is in line with the idea of community, bringing people together and being with friends and family. We look forward to seeing our players, families and friends on Sunday from 11am at Nunroyd Pavillion, Nunroyd Park, Leeds.
