TOR TOUCH RUGBY
High-energy, non-contact rugby fitness emphasising speed, agility, and handling without the tackles. A thrilling 6-a-side format open to men, women, seniors, youth, and beginners of all fitness levels.
THE TOUCH FORMAT
Touch is one of the fastest growing social sports globally, combining football-style continuous action with rugby evasion skills.
- Touch replaces tackle: A touch on the ball, clothing, or body halts the attack.
- Rollball restart: Attacker rolls ball between legs to the acting halfback.
- 6 touches to score: After 6 touches, possession turns over.
- Defensive retreat: Defending team must rapidly retreat 5m to get onside.
