Suspension Lifted in Swansea and Cardiff
The temporary suspension of community rugby in the Swansea and Cardiff areas has been lifted with immediate effect after reviewing of the situation in conjunction with the clubs within the respective Local Authorities and more than two weeks after a local lockdown was imposed.
Along with clubs and teams in Caerphilly County Borough, RCT, Newport, Merthyr, Bridgend and Blaenau Gwent where the temporary rugby suspensions have already been lifted, teams of all ages in the Swansea and Cardiff Local Authorities may now return to training within the current return to rugby guidelines, if they feel they can provide a safe environment for players, coaches and volunteers.
It is important to stress that pending new regulations covering travel for children to attend sporting activities, Welsh Government local restrictions still prevent players, parents and coaches from entering or leaving areas where local lockdowns are in place in order to attend training sessions.
Players and parents have also been reminded they must complete the symptom checker on the WRU Game Locker ahead of every training session.
