[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 575536, member: 53362"] [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]Agree about a selection of sports but its the local authorities that decide what sports are played and the fact that Rugby has lots of rules and is seen as complicated means it gets missed in many schools, perhaps 7s is a better format to introduce it? Regarding the ****ty inner city school, a few years ago a school not far from me in one of the worst areas in Nottingham (Bulwell if anyone is interested has been on TV a few times) was visited by no less than Jason Leonard because the rugby team had been so successful, this was down entirely to the PE teacher who was RFU coaching qualified and took many hours outside the normal school time training and teaching the boys how to play. I see an opportunity here for the RFU to get into schools as most of the inner city are becoming privately run academes and if the RFU sponsored some of the PE teachers wages so that Rugby was played more in schools it would perhaps bring more kids into the game who would never have thought about it before...just a thought[/FONT][/COLOR]<o:p></o:p> [/QUOTE]
