About EuroTag
-
ETRL is most similar to touch or tag rugby, except the tackle is made by getting a hand on the ball (tagging the ball)
-
ETRL was developed originally as a training game for Munster and Leinster Rugby Union but became a game in its own right the when developed by the Kerry Touch Rugby Association.
-
ETRL is played by a wide demographic from schools to veterans as it is very close but significantly safer than full contact rugby.
-
ETRL requires a small amount of equipment and players – markers and a football.
-
Since its inception 2 years ago EuroTag has been played by 8 countries around Europe with international competitions hosted in Ireland, UK, Poland and Hungary.
-
In two years there have been 20+ competitions played under EuroTag Rules.
-
Typically ETRL games are played at 7 aside and take 13 minutes with no half time but games have been played with various changes to the prescribed time and player numbers.
