From the 24/25 season, T1 Rugby will be introduced to schools and clubs in England, replacing The Touch Union initiative.
‘A game for everyone, played by anyone', T1 Rugby has an emphasis on fun, fitness and inclusion and provides a fun, welcoming and safe environment for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
It is the first non-contact form of the game that reflects the characteristics of rugby union, including lineouts, scrums, kicking and a breakdown, while remaining simple to play.
