Something to brighten up your Friday...
7⃣0⃣0⃣ grassroots players belting out Sweet Caroline at @MoseleyRugbyFC 🙂
All part of our charity partner @charityspoon's #VetsFest which raised over £80,000 for vulnerable children and mental health projects 🙌

The ripple effect of this tweet impacts refereeing standards in the long term.
Even for those who do pick up a whistle, in the end all you’re left with is the referees that are able to tolerate and survive … not the actual best referees!
Unknowingly this damages the game.
Honour to present @gloucesterrugby’s Fallen Barlow with the Outstanding Achiever Award on behalf of @charityspoon at the @premrugby Community Awards held at WestminsterPalace thanks to @MarkPawsey @HouseofCommons @UKHouseofLords

Very sad news coming from the Ukrainian rugby family. Mykita Bobrov, a young rugby player, was shot along with his family at the entrance to Kyiv. Our heart goes out to the rugby community from Ukraine and everyone who is suffering in these hard times.
