The RFU is calling on clubs and their local communities to join the  ‘Pitch Up for Rugby’  weekend taking place during the weekend of September 12 and 13.
There will be action back on the pitch in the form of O2 Touch and Ready4Rugby, the all new non-contact game which enables two teams of up to 10 players to engage in match activity.
Here, RUCK looks at five rugby legends who are still heavily involved with their local club.
If they can, why can't you?!

1. Andy Powell - Brecon RFC

The Wales international/ professional golf buggy driver is probably better known for his antics off the pitch. However, he has been giving back to the sport since hanging up his boots by coaching his local club Brecon RFC, who play in the WRU EAST Division 1 league.

2. Dan Carter - Southbridge

The All Black legend played a match for his childhood club Southbridge last month, scoring 12 points for his boyhood side. He played the full 80 minutes and scored six of his seven kicks at goal as his side beat West Melton 54-14. Following the game, Carter revealed he intends to play a bigger part at his local club moving forward.

3. Will Greenwood - Maidenhead RFC

Despite being better known these days for being an analyst for Sky Sports, the World Cup-winning centre continues to pass on his knowledge as backs coach of his local club in Berkshire.

4. Shane WIlliams - Amman United

The Wales legend made a return to Welsh rugby in 2017, coming out of retirement to play for his beloved Amman United. The former Wales and British Lions star stunned spectators as he took the field for his home town side in the National League 3 West B match against Burry Port. He then played for them in a final at the Millenium Stadium. He's since played a further handful of games for the club.

England legend and World Cup winner Mike Tindall plays a selection of matches for his local club, which close to his home. The legendary centre also does some coaching sessions with the backs when he gets the chance.
