Rugby Handbook The 2015 Rugby Handbook will be electronically delivered to all players today and is available for viewing on Cranbrook Connect. This document is the first port of call for any questions regarding Cranbrook Rugby. It outlines things such as training and playing uniforms, protective equipment, 1st XV support as well as highlighting all Cranbrook 1st XV Captains and those Cranbrookians that have gone on to represent the country at Schoolboy and Wallaby level. The second half of the handbook is a High Performance Manual which is a must read for all players as they prepare for the season ahead.

Rugby Refereeing Are you an ex-player? Do you want to stay involved in the game? Would you like to have a run around on Saturday mornings throughout the season? Have you done any refereeing before? Do you look good in shorts, wear white laces and like blowing a whistle? Do you say ‘laws’ rather than ‘rules’? If you answer ‘yes’ to some or all of these questions, please contact our referee-in chief and Davidson Housemaster, Jonathan Cumberlege - [email protected] , to discuss the possibility of refereeing some of Cranbrook’s home matches this season. The minimum qualification to referee is ‘SmartRugby’.
