Tournament Format*

​

Union Cup 2013 - Bristol, will consist of 15's and 10's competions. Teams will compete in each category for a Cup, Bowl and plate.

​

Following consultation with some of the participating teams and the RFU some teams in the tournament will play uncontested scrums for health & safety reasons. We will communicate which teams these are during the draw.

Therefore you and your teams should plan and train for this eventuality in a limited number of your matches.

​

The Union Cup is all about participation in rugby of as many people as possible maintaining the tournament format and rule enables this to continue.
