Why don't the IRFU encourage Tag only teams within existing clubs?

Its great to play in the summer but I'd love to play it for a full season.

We're running IRFU Tag here in Enniscorthy this summer
Also hosting a Tag Festival on Easter Saturday.
If there's enough demand I'd organise a league all season - currently do a ladies only Tag on a tuesday night - been running all winter

Just an idea mods
Is it worth setting up a seperate sticky or thread solely for Tag Rugby?
I know true rugby affectionado's might quibble with the soft Tag rugby concept.
But there is no denying Tag Rugby (both the IRFU and volvic versions) is bringing Rugby to a much greater audience and encouraging participation of people who would never dream of playing or watching rugby

Because of the rugby season? I'd say so.

Hi!!!

I was just going to post a question about tag shorts and I said I might as well post it here.

I am starting tag in Naas this year (22nd April - training starting!) adn I bought shorts on the tagrugby.com website and I got them in the post the other day.

They only seem to have mens shorts (which I had ordered) and they are awfully baggy arounnd the middle making me look huge and highly unattractive:mad:!! Can one get womans tag shorts because I really dont like these??!!!!:cool:

I am involved in the IRFU Tag in Tallaght RFC and on the IRFU website you can only buy different waist sizes, it doesn't have the choice of male or female.

The canterbury shorts come in lots of sizes but not specifically mens / womens shorts - more unisex
One suggestion you could try is find a local seamstress/mender and get them to sew velcro strips on to a pair of shorts that you do like (but show them the tag shorts that you have first so that they put themon correctly)

The problem with that is that most shorts have pockets and tag shorts cannot have pockets.

Here

They have both mens and womens sizes. The difference between 2008 and 2009 shorts is the 09 ones are longer. What's you team name, I play for the Scrumbags...:p

I remember the early years with the belts and all the broken and dislocated fingers. Enforcing pocketless shorts was the best thing ever.

Yep there is more injuries from Tag then real rugby- mainly finger injuries, plus so many people turn up at tag having done no excercise for quite a while and not bothering to warm up so you get quite a few pulled muscles

Enniscorthy RFC are holding Open Nights on Thursday 21st May and Thursday 28th May
This is an open invitation for anyone to turn up and see for themselves how Tag Rugby works, how much fun the sport is and get a taster of the summer ahead at this great venue.

Entry to these events, as the title suggests, is of course free-of-charge.

The night will start at around 6.45pm where participants announce their presence to the venue Manager and if not in a team, get placed. Tag shorts will be provided on loan for the evening .

They then get the chance to give it a go in one of the continual games that are applicable to their ability.
The Bud Light Tag season in Enniscorthy RFC starts on June 4th.
For more details check out www.irfutag.ie or pm me for more details
