Standard RFU laws will apply, including the ‘50% rule’.

In the group stage: 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw, 1 bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match, 1 bonus point for losing a match by seven points or fewer plus 2 points for winning a round of the skills challenge.

If any team is unable to field a full XV, the opposition should reduce numbers to match.

Each match will be 15 minutes each way with strictly no more than a minute for half time.

Please play your part in helping to ensure that the event runs to time by being at the right pitch at the right time, by starting each match on time, and by keeping half-time team-talks short.

If matches do not start on time, the organisers reserve the right to reduce the length of later matches.

Please remember:
This is not the Six Nations.
These are kids.
This is a game.
The coaches are volunteers.
The referees are human.

Let’s have some fun!
