We are very fortunate that we will be joined by Dr Ralph Mitchell, the Head Doctor and Team GP at Wasps Rugby, who will give us a presentation on dealing with and recognising serious injuries, especially head injuries and concussion.  Ralph is not only a sports science specialist, but also an ex-community referee who rose up through the Midlands Group to the National Panel, and so he is uniquely positioned to give us a fascinating talk focussing on our challenges in the grassroots game.

The subsequent short session will focus on the “new” high tackle framework published by World Rugby.
