For the community.
For the game.
For everyone.
As an England RFU Constituent Body, Somerset Rugby administers the game of rugby within Somerset in accordance with the World Rugby Regulations and Laws of the Union.
The five core values, identified and adopted by the game to embody the way in which the game is played, are administered and supported at all levels, up to and including the national teams and RFU staff. As a CB, Somerset Rugby acknowledge the importance of promoting the Core Values to our clubs, schools and colleges.
Somerset Rugby aims to retain and further develop a strong and vibrant rugby community within Somerset founded upon the RFU core purpose for the game.
