We have all played touch rugby in one form or another, as warm-up, in a league, as a game at practice or as a drill during practice. While these short sessions seem to ramp up the energy on our team and is an excellent skill, I can’t imagine just playing touch rugby.
This video is from the European Championships of Touch Rugby and is a semi-final match between Scotland and Wales. I can’t imagine just playing touch and never getting to tackle, ruck or really lay someone out! But, it is a glimpse at the art form or rugby and it is quite pretty…
and to combat this video…check out my all-time favorite video of Extreme Rugby Hits:

Yeah, I don’t know about that touch.. I vote for the hits, too bad most of them are illegal. Look like a bunch of football boys trying to play rugby! -Heidi
The hits aren’t illegal as the game isn’t rugby, it is rugby league, the footage shown is from the NRL in australia
