For the first time this summer Tallaght will be hosting a Tag Rugby tournament at the Postal Club.
Tag Rugby is a non-contact form of rugby played by mixed teams, containing male and female players. The non-contact form of “tagging” entails the defender removing a 'Tag' strip adhered by a velcro patch on the shorts of the attacking player/s. The non-contact nature of Tag allows Men and Women of all ages to participate at a level suitable to their ability and experience.
Trys are scored the very same way as in regular rugby ie. touching down the ball with full control on or over the try line. Also as with regular rugby, the normal laws for a pass having to be behind or lateral all apply.
How Many on a Tag Team?
The recommended squad size for a Tag team is 12 players. During a game, each team must have no more than seven players on the field of play at any one time. Of the seven players onfield, THREE must be female.
