- Our thoughts are with the family, friends and team mates of James Henderson who died in Gaza earlier this week. James was a beloved member of Penryn RFC and was described by the club as “one of the kindest, toughest and most loyal players to have worn the Penryn shirt”.
- As a mark of respect for @EveshamRFC's Jack Jeffery, clubs around the country will be holding a minute’s applause ahead of matches, with some retiring the no.11 shirt this weekend as a tribute to him. Our thoughts remain with Jack’s family, friends and all who knew and loved him.
- On behalf of everyone at the RFU, we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of Jack Jeffery who tragically died yesterday. The thoughts of everyone in the game are with @EveshamRFC, their players, members and the wider rugby community. eveshamrugbyclub.com/news/club-stat…
