Guidelines Review - deadline 30th November 2025

I hope you have all been enjoying your walking rugby, I have certainly been fortunate to be out and about playing far and wide.

In the course of the year, some variations have been introduced as experiments at festivals; Baz and the wider team would like to get your feedback on these innovations so we can form a view on whether the wider community should adopt them.

They include

  • Increasing the '1m try line tackle zone', to 2m .
  • Playing a restricted set of 10 phases in possession before turnover - similar to the rule when playing touch rugby.
  • Tightening the definition of 'walking'.
  • Emphasising the non-contact nature of the game - ie no hand-off, leading with the shoulder.

Please use the link below to fill in an online form so we can collate responses. 

Please pass on to your players, referees and admins for their feedback.
