[Sam Clapham Herts CRC @CrcHerts]

Last day for me today with @EnglandRugby - been an incredible 8 years and loved meeting some unbelievably talented and enthusiastic people along the way. Special thanks to the volunteers in @EastMidsRugby & @hertsrugby for all their hard work and support in growing the game 🏉💕

What do your players do before training? Set them this simple 10 minute challenge this week and see how many can complete it - share how your players get on and tag @CrcHerts #SkillsChallenge #CatchCrawlKick #LevelUp https://t.co/nqPqhif9Sx

Great scenes here at Barnet hosting the @SaracensSportFo festival for year 5/6 kids. Amazing scenes of fun in the sun with a bit of mud.
If you played today and enjoyed it, why not come along and play with the minis every week? https://t.co/2BLRVb79Nc https://t.co/utGlHUeYPq

A few email Q's asking if a player can play up or down a year group or if year groups can combine. All answers and process are on https://t.co/OEXEHm9PlT (Reg 15). #askagegrade

[Age Grade Rugby @AgeGradeRugby]

Half game is now regulation in Age Grade rugby & it's a great selling point for us.

We'd had some questions about a large squad playing against a smaller one. See our top tips ⬇️.

@StAlbansRFC @MillHillRFC @Biggyrugby @southgaterfc @hertsrugby @HertsAdSport @NPMetcalfe Great work @StAlbansRFC best of luck to all 3 sides 👍🏉

[Tim Bonnett @timbo_drm]

Still got lots of clubs not approved yet @hertsrugby

[Sam Clapham Herts CRC @CrcHerts]

@philllewellyn Great example of rugby jargon as well! Coaching recently I referred to the ‘red zone’ only to find out those players had previously used red, amber and green zones on the pitch and red was in their own 22 - ‘get out, get through, get in’ is what we use now

[Mr C Walker @mrcwalkerteach]

Another hugely successful Girls U15s rugby festival for @SRARugbyAcademy winning every game. B. Seller stand out performer. Thanks @CrcHerts for organising and @OA_girlsrugby for hosting #thisgirlcan #stillundefeated #RyderRugby @SRASecondary 🏆🏉
