Rugby unites to support Syria and Turkey
By Online Editors
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.
WHO Foundation — Lifesaving Response to Earthquakes in Türkiye and the Syrian Arab Republic
WHO is assisting with the international relief effort, deploying emergency medical teams to treat injured people, support health workers and maintain essential health services throughout rescue operations and beyond.
World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said: “We stand in solidarity with the people of Syria and Turkey at this difficult time. As a family, we support our family members and working with our regional associations we will support the unions where required and promote the international aid effort.”

Think it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
