The maximum team size is 12 with 7 on the pitch at one time.
This is a mixed team game so only a maximum of 4 males can be on the pitch at one time.
Basic rugby rules apply:
- You can only pass the ball backward
- When you are tagged you must stop running, replace your tag, and roll the ball through your legs to allow play to continue
- When you have made a tag, your whole team must retreat 7m and wait for play to continue before making another tag.
- No kicking of the ball is allowed
- No tackling is allowed
If you score a try, that counts as 1 point. There are no conversions or penalty kicks in Tag Rugby.
If you are new to rugby in general, don’t worry! There will be a designated referee at every game who can help you with the rules.
The games last 50 mins. 2 x 25 mins with a small break at half time.
Rolling substitutions are allowed so you will be able to take it at your own pace.

Why Play Tag Rugby?
Tag rugby is a fantastic sport for adults, offering a fun and engaging way to stay active while improving fitness. It provides an excellent workout, helping to boost heart health and endurance through dynamic movement, such as running, dodging, and quick directional changes. The non-contact nature of the game makes it accessible to all fitness levels, reducing the risk of injury while still offering a challenging workout.
Tag rugby is a great way to meet new people and build friendships. Whether you’re looking to get fit, relieve stress, or enjoy a fun social activity, tag rugby is an ideal choice for adults seeking balance in both physical and mental well-being.
