Rugby

Unfortunately, this year, rugby was not allowed at all due to the physical contact nature of the game. We were however allowed to play non-contact rugby, but as one can imagine there is only so much you can do with 9–13 year-olds who only want to tackle each other all the time. Be that as it may, we introduced tag-rugby and boys enjoyed this format of the game. It was certainly not the same as contact-rugby, but it allowed all boys to be a part of the game with no fear of being tackled. We also held a Interhouse tag-rugby competition and fun was had by all. The boys’ skills improved, and they learned to identify space on the field and attack space instead of running into the man.

While we missed ‘normal’ rugby we also learnt to appreciate playing sports. We all realized how quickly things can be taken away from us. Thank you to all our coaches and staff for your efforts and passion for this game that we all love so much.
