With the U19 RWC only a few weeks away, the Ulster Branch is currently in the process of planning a number of fantastic legacy initiatives, which will take place in the run up to and during the tournament. Read on for more information.

The legacy ideas will give every rugby enthusiast the opportunity to get involved in the tournament while winning some great prizes. Primary and Secondary Schools kids, girls and boys, Coaches, Referees, and Community Groups, everyone will have the chance to be a part of the legacy of the U19 RWC! Here is a taster of what is to come:

Interactive Quiz
Winners will receive a visit to one of the country’s camps or a day out with a team

Primary Schools Tag
Winners of the fancy dress parade at the four ‘Tag Extravaganzas’ at the end of March will win the opportunity to play a game on match nights between the 5.30pm and 7.30pm games.

Adopt a Country
Schools and Clubs may get the chance to take part in a session with a country.

Coaching Clinics
There will be opportunities for coaches to take part in Clinics run by the U19 Team Coaches

Referee Workshops
IRB Tournament referees and selectors will be running a range of activities with Ulster’s referees including attending the USRFR monthly meeting and running an ‘open to all’ training session.

Community Based Projects
Some Squads will be making visits to selected Community Groups in Belfast

Underage Competitions
All Colleges/Clubs/Schools/Women/Mini/Primary Teams who partook in Ulster Branch Cup competitions will be entered into a draw and the lucky winners will get tickets to the U19 RWC final
