County Championship Review
As many of you will be aware, an independent review is underway of the County Championship across both the Men’s and Women’s Senior Competition and the U20s Men’s Competition, with an aim of making recommendations to the Community Game Board on the future and format of the competition.
Please keep an eye out for a survey that will be circulated this Monday, 12 April, to players, coaches, CBs and Clubs.
We are keen to hear from as many people as possible to understand your views and to collate feedback that will help to inform the group recommendations.
Please contact competitions-development@rfu.com should you have further questions.
The letter below from Dr Tim Miller, Chair of the County Championship Working Group, provides further background on the review process and is being shared with CBs. It is accompanied by the Excel template referred to in the note
