Rugby Club School of Hard Knocks

As The Rugby Club signed off for the summer, we took one last visit to the School of Hard Knocks.

Earlier this season, Austin Healey presented a special series of short films which followed a ground-breaking rugby training initiative which was designed to help 15 men in Liverpool find employment.

The participants, who had never before touched a rugby ball, embarked on an intensive 16-week scheme in conjunction with the Sale Sharks, with the aim of increasing their employability through sport.

As the season came to an end on The Rugby Club, we re-visited the 15 men to see how they were getting on and to see if the experience had any long-lasting effects.
