Rugby is one of the cheapest sports to play, as it only requires a rugby ball to play. You can play on different surfaces such as grass, sand, sawdust or snow with safety as its watch word. One only needs a T-Shirt, Shorts and canvas to start, and we will be starting with the fun part called “Touch Rugby” which is very enjoyable and without any contact!
We will also do some theory, watch some rugby educational tapes, and you can have the opportunity of recording your copy of some very important international rugby matches.
