Hey ruggers,

Well we're started a Rugby Wiki, so think Wikipedia, but all rugby. It's brand new so not really anything there yet. That's where you come in. Check it out at http://www.rugbywiki.org .

• Self-test capability which covers:
• All 22 laws
• 7's and Under 19 variations

• Video tests
• The test can be taken over multiple visits to the site
• On completion users can download an awareness certificate
• Access to the site is free to everyone
