The Royal Navy continued its policy of promoting rugby development throughout the world recently when it deployed RDO Mal Chumbley and Referee Trainer Paul Burton to the NATO base in Naples, Italy.
Level 1 Coaching and Referee Foundation Courses were arranged at the request of Lieutenant Andy McKay of the NATO Lions, the club for all service personnel in the region. The courses were attended by members of all three services working in Italy as well as Ferenc Tana’rki, a Hungarian international currently serving with the Hungarian Army in Naples, who added to the international flavour of the weekend.
