Rugby was once famously mis-described as ‘a thug’s game played by gentlemen’ but a more realistic assessment is that rugby encourages the development of essential core personal qualities including control, self-discipline, respect, camaraderie and bravery.

The onset of professionalism within the game has raised the public profile of the sport within schools. The Rugby Doctor works to deliver School rugby in a safe manner which places a high emphasis on personal development and a rugby education.
