Remembrance day is going to be very different this year but we can still commemorate it in different ways.

That's why the RFU (Rugby Football Union) are launching a digital wall of remembrance.

English rugby's governing body, based at Twickenham stadium, want a way to mark the deaths of people in the rugby family, but without a physical ceremony.

The RFU describe it as 'a place where everyone can be recognised and remembered, whether players, supporters, volunteers, anyone and everyone who formed part of our rugby family.'

You can fill in an application form HERE to get someone on the digital wall.

One name going on the wall will be Sergeant Matt Ratana of East Grinstead RFC who died while on duty as a police officer in Croydon.

RFU President Jeff Blackett said: "In these most challenging of times, one huge sadness has been the inability to be there with family and friends of those we have lost.

"I am very aware of the comfort that comes from seeing just how much they were loved, respected and appreciated.

"I hope that this Wall of Remembrance can make a small difference and that families and the rugby family will give us pictures and details with which to remember everyone who has represented our sport and its values."
