It is one of the two codes of rugby football, the other being rugby union.

Due to its high-velocity contact, cardio-based endurance and minimal use of body protection, rugby leag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oztag
Tag-rugby belt Tag rugby, or flag rugby, is a non-contact team game in which each player wears a belt that has two velcro tags attached to it, or shorts with velcro patches. The mode of play is based on rugby league with many similarities to touch football, although tag rugby is often deemed a closer simulation of full contact rugby league than touch. Attacking players attempt to dodge, evade and pass a rugby ball while defenders attempt to prevent them scoring by "tagging" – pulling a velcro attached tag from the ball carrier, rather than a full contact tackle. Tag rugby is used in development and training by both rugby league and rugby union communities. Tag rugby comes in several forms with OzTag, Try Tag Rugby (UK) and Mini Tag being some of the better known variations. Tag rugby has the highest participation levels in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. History According to sportswriter Terry Godwin, writing in 1983, tag rugby was first developed in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
