Why get into rugby union?
If you enjoy being active and want to build
your fitness with team mates then this is the game for you.
Who is it for?
It’s one of the most inclusive sports
around and there are various versions of the game that you can test out.
Is there a cheap option?
You can just play touch rugby in the park
with a bunch of friends or family, but joining a club can be inexpensive.
What if I want a proper workout?
From scrummaging to tackling, to sprinting
with the ball, this can be a high intensity workout that will boost both your
fitness and your strength.
Can I take it to another level?
Work your way up. Start with a club then
look to your county and from there people will start noticing you.
Is there a disability option?
Wheelchair rugby was a big hit at the 2012
Paralympics. There are now chances to have a go all over the UK.
Is there a family option?
Most clubs will cater for all the family with
kids’ teams, and men’s and women’s teams for mum and dad.
