Walking Rugby Explained
Walking Rugby is a simplified version of Rugby suitable for all ages, abilities & genders and being a competitive passing game, suitable for ex-Rugby players, injured and rehabilitating current players and those interested in Rugby without any experience! Those past retirement age can still indulge in their passion without the full-on contact - or those wishing to keep up their activity levels can try a new sport.

Walking Rugby is a great leveller and you do not need to be fit – we can work on that together. You do need a certain degree of mobility but as we are open to all genders and ages – a ‘team’ means you all work as one.

What you need to know:

No running – walking determined by one foot on the ground at any time when in motion
No contact – similar to ‘touch rugby’ rules – two hands on the waistband is all the contact made which qualifies as a tackle.
No Mauls or Rucks or Lineouts
Scrummaging – Being reviewed but pre-pandemic is was max 3 players per team stood in upright standing position and non-contested. We'll play what we all feel safe with.
Passing backwards or lateral – offside rules apply
A try requires no bending – you walk across the try line ball in hand.
