Rugby unites to support Syria and Turkey
The global rugby family is uniting to support those affected by the devastating earthquakes that hit Syria and Turkey.
With homes damaged or destroyed and fresh drinking water, agricultural production and public services disrupted, the rugby family have joined forces to pledge their full support to the Rugby family at this difficult time.
Recognising that fans around the world are keen to assist and support at this time of need, World Rugby is supporting the United Nations and World Health Organisation’s relief efforts.
