Rippa Rugby Introduction

Help your team play a safe, fair and enjoyable game of Rippa Rugby. Read the scenario and use the rules below; local competition rules may vary. Answer every question.

Game-day briefing

Keira, Hemi and Charlotte are planning a short-sided game during a community recycling drive. Their team wants to move the ball towards the try line while keeping everyone safe. In Rippa Rugby, players wear a belt with tags attached. Defenders try to remove a tag rather than tackle or make contact. When a tag is removed, the ball carrier stops, returns the tag to the defender, and restarts play according to the agreed rules—often by passing the ball. Players pass backwards or sideways, and a try is scored by grounding the ball over the opposition’s try line. Follow the rules set by the organiser, as details can vary.

1.Choose the safest and fairest action when defending in Rippa Rugby.
  • Reach for the belt tag without touching the runner.
  • Hold the runner’s shirt to slow them down.
  • Dive at the runner’s legs.
  • Push the runner towards the sideline.
2.According to the briefing, what should the ball carrier do first, and what commonly happens next?
3.Hemi is carrying the ball and wants to pass to Keira, who is running ahead of him. Is this pass allowed under the briefing? Explain what he could do instead.
4.A try is scored by grounding the ball over the opposition’s try line.
TrueFalse
5.Fill in the missing word: Rippa Rugby is non-contact; defenders aim to remove a rather than tackle.
6.Keira has the ball and sees a teammate in space. Write one useful call she could make, and one supportive thing a teammate could say after a dropped pass.
7.Charlotte accidentally knocks a tag off while reaching for the ball, and the runner stops. What is a respectful way to handle the moment?
8.Your team is crowded together near the ball. Suggest one way the players without the ball could help create a better passing option.
9.A player has a tag removed but keeps running with the ball. Name the rule they have not followed and describe the appropriate response.
10.Write two specific actions your team can agree to use so the game is safe, inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.
