Message from Rae Evans:
I am happy for you to share this with your clubs and schools. However, please make sure that when do share it you include the following message:
The NM RFU Calendar is a mixture of RFU mandated activity and NM included activity. All the NM included activity will be either in green shaded areas or, what I can only describe, as salmon shaded areas.
Finding the right dates for the NM activity has been very difficult, mainly because we have had almost no rugby this season and, in the case of the Cup and Plate dates we do not know how many clubs will want to participate in the NM Clubs competitions.
We would want you to abide by these dates wherever possible, but understand that as much difficulty we have had in including these dates, you will no doubt have as much difficulty in sticking by them. We cannot take suggestions from you as to how the 2021/2022 calendar should be changed but I am in contact with the NM Cup Secretary, Alex Smith, to ensure the cup competitions run as smoothly as possible. If you have suggestions for dates and/or events that should be included in the 2022/2023 calendar, please do email me with those suggestions. They will be considered for inclusion in the calendar for 2022/2023.
If you do have questions about the 2021 / 2022 calendar, please email me and I will try and answer you as best I can. Otherwise please try and work with the calendar as best you can.

2021 / 2022 Age Grade Playing Calendar
Due to the impact of Covid–19 it has not been possible to release the Age Grade Playing Calendar for 2021/22. We are aiming to have this out in December to enable planning for next season.
Updated November 2020
2020 / 2021 Age Grade Playing Calendar
-
The Age Grade season, as previously communicated, is extended and will end on Monday 31 May 2021.
-
Flexibility is permitted and encouraged in the approved 2020/21 calendars to keep as many players engaged and included as possible. This requires local collaboration and decisions by CBs with CSUs and other age grade stakeholders. There is no need for national approval
-
Once we recommence contact rugby, CB representative rugby activity will pick up from that point – there is no regression to, or rearrangement of, what has not happened this season. However, what remains scheduled can still go ahead, including, at this point, the Under 17 male and Under 18 and 15 female programmes after Christmas.
-
The Under 18 Academy league programme has been revised for this season, reduced from 8 matches to 4 in a shorter window. The dates are the weekends of 12/13/14 & 19/20/21 February 2021 and 5/6/7 & 12/13/14 March 2021.
-
For clarity, the only exemptions for elite play in Academies is in the 13 RFU licensed academies – any other activity titled “academy” has no exemption and must return under the community rugby protocols.
