Rippa Rugby quick guide

Rippa Rugby is a non-contact team game. Players wear two tags, one on each side of their waist. A defender takes a tag from the ball carrier; they do not grab clothing or touch the player. The tagged player stops, holds the ball still and passes it to a teammate. Passes must travel sideways or backwards, not forwards. Attackers work together to find space and move towards the try line. For a pass that is easier to catch, look at your teammate, aim the ball towards their hands or body, use a controlled pass, and communicate before passing. In te reo Māori, mauī means left and matau means right.
