Rugby Moments That Matter

As Official Legal Partner of England Rugby, Irwin Mitchell are there for all the moments the matter both on and off the field.

We know that rugby clubs are the heartbeat of the community and that’s why we are donating £10,000 to a special grassroots rugby cause. All you need to do to enter is, in less than 500 words, tell us about a special moment that really matters to you and your rugby club.

Does your club have a George Leach, who's dedicated 70 years of his life to create moments that matter for his rugby club? Or Painswick Rugby Club, who've created a family environment where there can be up to seven brothers playing on the same team, creating moments that matter and memories that last a lifetime? Click here now to watch their stories and get inspired.

Your entry doesn’t need to be rugby related. It could be something your club does for the community, like setting up a tea morning to allow the elderly residents to socialise. It’s simply about celebrating the people that make rugby so special and helping to create more moments that matter in the future.
