TOUCH RUGBY TYPES
Touch 7s
Rugby touch 7s is a fast-paced, non-contact variant of rugby played with seven players on each team. Players score by touching opponents instead of tackling them, and matches are typically shorter with smaller fields. It promotes passing, handling, evasion, and teamwork skills.
Touch 15s
Rugby touch 15s is a variation of traditional rugby that incorporates touch rugby rules, with players scoring by touching opponents instead of tackling them. It is played with 15 players on each team and retains the fundamental principles of rugby, but without contact.
