TAG Rugby has been recognized the world over as an excellent tool to introduce  girls to rugby in a fun, safe manner. The game promotes support play and encourages the ball carrier to “take on” and try to beat the defenders. It also gives the defenders an incentive to defend.

Ian McIntosh, former Springbok coach and national selector, sings the praises of TAG Rugby because it “promotes great running lines, improves handling skills and support play”.

The game is very easy to learn and as there are no line outs, scrums, rucks, mauls and kicking.

The game is used as a means to increase fitness levels and handling skills by many of the top rugby teams in the world. The flow of the game is good and a “tag” / tackle is clear for all to see and hear. The fact that the defender has something to show for his/her efforts is not like touch rugby where arguments can develop easily over whether or not the touch was made.[1]
