Hong Kong rugby club, HK Scottish RFC, is hosting a mixed tag rugby tournament on Saturday 15th August 2020 at King’s Park. The tag rugby tournament aims to raise funds for the KELY Support Group and has a social and competitive category.
On the HK Scottish RFC FB page, they said of the tag rugby tournament “With social and competitive entry levels, you don’t need to be a rugby player to take part – just able to run (a little bit) and be good for a laugh.”
What is Tag Rugby?
Tag Rugby is loosely based on Rugby League but has minimal contact. All players wear shorts with velcro patches with two tags attached to them. Each team has seven players and each team has six tags to try and score a try (similar to touch rugby).
The ITF Tag Rugby World Cup 2021 is due to be held in Ireland in 2021.
