Mixed Touch Competition

A chance to be the first team to lift the Mixed Touch Rugby inaugural Trafigura Shield with the losing semi-finalists competing for the Trafigura Vase.

Suitable for both beginners and experienced players of either sex, both young and old, this will be a six-a-side mixed competition of this non-contact version of the game. Companies can submit a squad of up to 12 players. There are no rules about the team composition other than the fact that the playing team must contain a minimum of two females on the pitch at any one time.

The initial staging is guaranteed to put Touch firmly on the rugby map.

What is Touch?

Touch Rugby or TOUCH, as it is known, is a non-contact sport played worldwide by men, women and children of all ages. The game emphasises running, agility and ball handling skills such as passing and catching.

Looking something similar to Rugby, without the tackling, scrumming, kicking and the like, the aim of the game is to score tries. Played on a flat surface, half the size of a conventional sports field, Touch Rugby is “The Game taking the World by Storm”.

Touch Rugby is suitable for both beginners and experienced players. You can play either men's, women's or mixed Touch. RCUK Charity Sevens is running a mixed tournament. Click here to learn more about the rules and click here to sign up a team.
