LAST CHANCE! Get 2 for 1 entry to the Twickenham Stadium Tour and the award winning World Rugby Museum until 31 July 2019. Applicable for groups of 20 or more students. 1 free supervisory adult per 10 students. Contact [email protected] to book.

A new format of rugby, which is big on enjoyment, and low on commitment. It’s a quicker game, with fewer players which can be played almost anywhere.  It is contact rugby but not as you know it!

It is a great way to introduce pupils to the contact element, and for some pupils it may be more enjoyable than the full XV-a-side game.
