Touch rugby is a variant of traditional rugby, featuring lighter rules and less physical contact. Instead of tackling opponents to the ground to stop the ball, players merely need to touch their opponent (usually on the shoulder, arm, or back) to prevent their progress and end the attacking play. Due to its safety and gentle nature, touch rugby is increasingly popular, especially at community sporting events, promoting a healthy lifestyle and providing opportunities for people to connect through sport.
