• MJRC is proud to support a positive and encouraging approach to playing rugby. The club will not tolerate participants who do not demonstrate a similar approach to the game.

• MJRC expects that every coach and manager will adhere to the code of conduct and ensure that our parents and spectators support the game in a positive fashion.
