Coventry Rugby Club Remembers

Today, Coventry Rugby joins the nation in pausing to reflect and remember those who selflessly gave their lives in armed conflict.

The club will be paying its respects over the course of a week, taking in Armistice Day, Remembrance Sunday, and culminating in our Remembrance game against London Scottish on Saturday the 19th of November.

A commemorative poppy wreath will be laid by the club, featuring the names of former Coventry Rugby players who died in the World Wars.
