Any advice would be great
Thanks xx
It's not rugby what you see on TV.
You won't be allowed to do scrums, contest a ruck, mauls are only allowed to go 10 yards so it can't collapse. Can't contest high balls. Can't lift in a line out.
A lot was changed 3/4 years to protect young children from injury.
He will need a gum shied because they are children and flailing arms. They should be taught to tackle from middle of the stomach down.
My DH says there is as much chance of injury from football as their is in rugby. But accidents happen in all sports at all ages.

When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door
