union and who may wish to take advantage of this protection at some point in the future understand that this scheme only covers permanent total disability as summarised below and should not be considered a substitute for general protection in the case of injury.

their place of residence provided at all times travel is direct.

engaged on the business of the Rugby Football Union and whilst travelling to or from their place of
residence provided at all times travel is direct.
