These lads did so well. Played out of their comfort zones to challenge themselves & smashed it. Plenty of room for continued development, but very proud.

Success for Robert Blake U15 in their 1st round of the cup.
With a free flowing offloading game in the 2nd half they spread the ball with accuracy and flair. This result sets up an all UL next round against Huish Episcopi.

Well done to all involved

What an incredible performance it was. Only about 5 of the 24 boys had ever played before and here they were playing brilliantly.

[United Learning Rugby @UL_Rugby]

As part of the celebration of rugby inspired by the women’s rugby World Cup students from @RobertBlakeSC and @HuishEpiscopiAc came together to play games and develop understanding. A great day in the sun.

So great to see friends and students I’ve worked with having such a great time with rugby.

[Rugby Football Union @RFU]

🏉The RFU has set out clear goals for the future of English schools’ rugby following an independently chaired review

🏫As part of one target to introduce T1 Rugby into 5000 schools @lutherburrell helped give @TheElmsAcademy students their first taste of our great game

@GiselleM18 I was wondering whether it’d be the England Men XVs defence role.

[Nick O @beardedprop]

@Timmytammy8 @BBCSport I think the final is on BBC

[Nick O @beardedprop]

I’ve been supporting coaches in their development for a few years.
I am an RFU mentor already but it has been interesting and challenging to work through this OU course it has been helpful for new learning and validating.

I struggle with formal learning so Im pleased with me.

[Nick O @beardedprop]

Had such a great day being part of this.
There is some class rugby development going on out there.

[School College & University T1 Rugby @EngRugT1Rugby]

That's a wrap!

From all @RFU - THANK YOU you to every team who entered T2T, host venues (x37), young leaders, organisers, the awesome @ShaunaghBrown & the 2700 players!

We hope you've loved being part of it as much as we have.

2024/25 is going to be even bigger and better
