⚠️ Essential: RFU Regulation 15
Regulation 15 is the cornerstone of age grade rugby in England. It dictates all laws and game variations for youth rugby, including contact progressions, scrum regulations, match durations, and player welfare requirements.
Every coach MUST be familiar with Reg 15 for their age group. It's updated annually, so please review it each season.
