Hi all, As the topic mentions, how does one grab tags in tag rugby without getting injured? At the moment, I'm pulling fingers every few days, and they take over a week to heal :( (the latest being the "ring finger" on my left hand). And heck, this is only during the training!

Hi all,

At the moment, I'm pulling fingers every few days, and they take over a week to heal (the latest being the "ring finger" on my left hand). And heck, this is only during the training! The only thing I can think of is, as I'm tall, and they're usually small, when my hand goes to grab a tag, my hand would be in a downward motion, but what else can I do?

Im quite fast so normally just coast alongside someone at the same speed and there is no problem with sprains etc.

Best technique I can think of is the slap, get AS CLOSE as you can slap your hand flat (not too hard ) on the tag and then close your fist with tag in hand.

Looking for where the tag meets the shorts...less movement of the tag there.
