touch rugby

Contact-free football alternative

Touch rugby is a version of rugby where players stop an opponent by touching them rather than tackling.

The touch ends the play, making the game faster and safer than full-contact rugby.

It's popular as a casual recreational sport and as a training tool for rugby players: We play touch rugby at lunch.
