The coronavirus has resulted in schools worldwide being closed as children are told to stay at home. Lockdown is basically just one long snow day. But without snow. Or fun.

But how can others from the world of rugby help out with education in these times?

Well, wonder know more, as we at want to get called into Mr Johnson's office.

RUCK have created an Ofsted approved homeschooling establishment consisting exclusively of rugby playing figures.

HEAD TEACHER: Martin Johnson

You need an authoritative figure to at the helm, and Martin Johnson and his steely glare ticks all the boxes. Johnson would rule with an iron fist, and you bet he'd enforce full uniform - blazers, tie, the lot - even at home. You do not

MATHS: Austin Healey

PHILOSOPHY: Jonny Wilkinson

As an athlete, peak physical fitness is key but many sportsmen, like Jonny, also harness the power of the mind to achieve great success. This ability to use the mind as a tool in a positive way lead him to discover a more spiritual way of living in his retirement and an even greater passion for encouraging others to treat their body well in order to thrive. The perfect appointment.

SEX EDUCATION: Danny Cipriani

Let's talk about sex, baby. The ideal person to teach you all about the birds and the bees is obviously the Gloucester play-maker. The mercurial fly-half, Cipriani has dated more celebrities than he has England caps. Far more.
