The
origins of touchrugby can be traced back to
Australia in the 1960's where it was used as
a warm up game for rugby codes. The simplicity
of this game is unique; all you need is a rugby
ball, a space to play and a group of friends.

Touchrugby
is a fast moving minimal contact evasive game
that is played throughout the world by men and
women of all ages and skill levels.
a
It
promotes the fundamental skills of running,
handling, evasion and support play, whilst developing
the basic principles of attack and defence,
without the fear of getting hurt.

The
game is similar to rugby but without
any of the rough stuff like tackling,
scrummaging, rucking, mauling, lineouts and
kicking.
a
The
aim is to get more touch downs (tries) than
the opposition during the period of the game.
