Regional 2 Anglia is an English level 6 rugby union regional league for rugby clubs in London and the south-east of England including sides from Essex, Hertfordshire, Greater London, Suffolk and Norfolk. It was created as a product of 2022 Adult Competition Review.[1]
Structure and format
The twelve teams play home and away matches from September through to April, making a total of twenty-two matches each. The results of the matches contribute points to the league as follows:
- 4 points are awarded for a win
- 2 points are awarded for a draw
- 0 points are awarded for a loss, however
- 1 losing (bonus) point is awarded to a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
- 1 additional (bonus) point is awarded to a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match
There is one automatic promotion place and two relegation places. The first-placed team at the end of season wins promotion to Regional 1 South East. The last three placed clubs are usually relegated to either Counties 1 Eastern Counties, Counties 1 Essex or Counties 1 Herts/Middlesex depending on location.[2] -->

Joining the league were Wanstead from Counties 1 Essex, Wymondham[3] promoted from Counties 1 Eastern Counties together with Rochford Hundred[4] and Westcliff, both relegated from Regional 1 South East.

Two weeks before the season started Dagenham, 9th in 2023-24, withdrew from the league citing ""...a combination of unforeseen circumstances within the club and a significant shortage of players..." meaning it will be completed with eleven sides for the forthcoming season.[5]
