Walking Rugby

Walking Rugby


Walking Rugby is intended to be a simple version of Rugby suitable for ex-players, injured players and non-players of all ages, abilities and gender who enjoy an active and physical, above all, competitive passing game using a rugby ball.

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 shorts is all the contact made which qualifies as a tackle.

No Mauls or Rucks or Lineouts

Scrummaging – max 3 players per team stood in upright standing position and non-contested.

Passing backwards or lateral – offside rules apply

A try requires no bending – you walk across the try line ball in hand.

Who can play walking Rugby?

Everybody
