Mayor of London Boris Johnson has invested £100,000 into the grassroots of rugby to generate more participation in the sport following the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

The money provided to the RFU will go towards the All Schools programme, local clubs to increase their capacity, and a further 14 local rugby clubs will be given grants to allow Londoners to try rugby for free.
