The rules of Mini Rugby at U9 are drawn up by the RFU and this year we shall be playing to the 'New Rules of Play'. A link to the relevant RFU website;

In summary, the game is played with 7 players in each side and is a key transitional stage between TAG and full contact Rugby. Players are allowed to tackle. Players must pass sideways or backwards. Please read the linked document for full details.

Most importantly, the Referee is always right and we love playing Rugby for Fun!! We hope you really enjoy playing Under 9 Mini Rugby at Chippenham!!
