Touch Rugby

Rugby is one of the most popular winter sports in Great Britain. Unfortunately, except for former British colonies, France and Argentina the game isn’t as popular as it undoubtedly should be around the world! However, being a contact sport it isn’t really suitable for the hard grounds of summer or for people who want to learn the sport without having all the equipment. That is why in one of our games sessions at Discovery Winchester we introduced our charges to Touch Rugby.

With simpler rules and no contact the sport can be played by anyone. All you need to do to be effective is find space, run fast and keep heading forwards. After a few minutes our boys were up and running and playing some fantastic running rugby.

With the Rugby World Cup only a few weeks away maybe some of these boys could push for places in their respective national teams!
