Tag Rugby Rules and Skills Guide

Tag rugby involves passing the ball backwards or level, tagging opposing players by removing a tag from their waist, and scoring tries by placing the ball over the try line with both hands. Key skills include passing with two hands on the ball, tagging opponents by running alongside and removing their tag, and receiving passes with the hands forming a "W" shape. There are two codes of rugby - rugby union involves 15 players while rugby league has 13, and they have different rules around scoring and tackle limits.
