Life is suspended right now. So many travels postponed, meetings with friends delayed, fun and sports alike left for another day. But life is resilient. The human spirit is unstoppable. We will prevail!

Due to the new coronavirus epidemic, the Portugal Rugby Youth Festival will be postponed to October 17-18, 2020. Move Sports, the event organiser, is making this decision in line with the latest recommendations from the Portuguese Government, through its National Health Service (NHS), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Portuguese Rugby Federation, which cancelled all rugby activity in the country.

The Portuguese Prime Minister, António Costa, took a long stroll at the Portugal Rugby Youth Festival and stated he places great importance on the spirit of rugby.

Fundamentally, the Portugal Rugby Youth Festival is the ability to make 28 151 people happy in an area of 100 thousand square meters, for 48 hours and 300 games of great excitement.

There should be nothing about rugby that impressed Lewis Moody. The English international and Lion has been in all the rugby world's fields, in all the world's changing rooms in many of the great moments of the game and, like the warrior he was and is, he is not a man to be impressed.

George Tavner and Andrew Webb, two prestigious youth coaches from the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and England’s Premiership, will lead three workshops during this year's Portugal Rugby Youth Festival (PRYF).
