What is Touch?

Touch rugby is an exciting game to introduce new and exisiting players to a fun, fast paced game suitable for people of all shapes, sizes, fitness levels and ability. Teams are made up of men and women and is ideal for social, serious, corporate or casual teams. Touch rugby is a minimal contact game and is a great way to get in to shape.

If you want to replicate the speed of Topsy Ojo, the footwork of Dan Bowden or the passing of Paul Hogdson then Touch rugby is for you.

Team entry is £100 per team. This includes a 10 match day tickets for a London Irish fixture, a touch rugby training session, 5 weeks of regular fixtures, and the chance to play at the Madejski Stadium. Additional discounted ticket packages are available including hospitality.
