Jason Leonard, England’s most capped player, is urging all rugby clubs not to miss the fantastic opportunity to transform their facilities with RBS RugbyForce.
Clubs must enter by March 25 to be in with a chance of winning £5000 of goods and resources for a make-over project.
Leonard, along with fellow internationals legends Andy Nicol and Ieuan Evans, and other judges will choose three worthy winners from all the applications.
The big RBS RugbyForce weekend will take place on June 11-12 and the rugby legends will be on hand to help with the winning clubs’ repair work and improvements, whether that means painting walls and fences, changing taps, tidying land or hanging curtains.
"Every single club we have helped over the years has needed our help and the turnaround has been amazing," said Leonard. "It is always very rewarding and satisfying to see the transformation."
Leonard proud to help grassroots clubs
"I am proud to be part of RBS RugbyForce because it is everything that is good about the game. A rugby club is the hub of a community and the resources provided by RBS RugbyForce bring everyone together to get involved no matter what their age, size gender or ability and we all work to make a difference to the club’s facilities.
"Every year is it absolutely fantastic to see so many people taking real pleasure and pride in their rugby club and seeing how, because of RBS Rugby Force, they are able to improve it and make it so much better.
"If you are wondering whether to enter, remember that you have to be in it to win it! Get your application in now because it really is such an amazing opportunity for your club."
