| 1. IMPORTANT UPDATES We want to hear from you! We’re introducing a new way for our clubs and members to share their views with us on anything from how we regulate the game, to how we communicate, how things feel on the ground, to what could make a real difference to the administration of the game. Whatever matters most to you. Player registration for the 26/27 season is now open! To make sure your club is ready to hit the ground running at the start of the season, now is a great time to encourage age grade and adult players at your club to renew their registrations. Check out our helpful video guides in this section. England Rugby Learning England Rugby is introducing a major upgrade to how we support coaches, match officials and volunteers to complete essential training, access resources, and continually refresh their knowledge and skills.
