Rugby

RUGBY

You don’t have to weigh in at 15 stone to play rugby; everyone can have fun playing this competitive sport. Good levels of fitness are important but so are drive, discipline, teamwork and dedication.

These are not only essential skills for a successful sports team, they are also key skills the RAF looks for in potential recruits. Whether you're putting a try over the line, or getting a Typhoon fast jet in the air, you're 100% committed to getting the job done.

Sport is a central part of RAF life and there is a long-standing tradition of RAF personnel playing rugby union and rugby league at the highest level - sporting legend Rory Underwood is an ex-RAF Pilot.

RAF personnel who play sport receive great support, free training and excellent travel opportunities.

Events

DECORATION.

A series of RAF Junior Rugby Festivals takes place annually in May to mark the end of the season for under-15 players in Wales.

Inter-Service matches for senior players where old rivalries between the RAF, the Army and the Royal Navy are renewed are hugely competitive and well supported.
