An U15 player against an U17

Regulations do not permit this in this country but you may be faced with dealing with the situation while on Tour, because of different dates used to determine what "U17" is

Written Guidance and a Form is available and can be provided  by David Turner (Kent Schools Administrator) on ksrfu@dhwt.co.uk

Note: If you intend to tour to South Africa you should read the additional advice in the School Tours section

 

 General duty of care

Remember, you can not just say "they are in the same age group so it's ok". You must be satisfied that the experience and physical development of a player is suitable for the game he is playing in or the training he is doing.
