Rugby Australia has launched its own version of tag to be promoted by Mark Gasnier. Failed last time. Let’s see how it goes this time.

Gaz is hoping to get it played in schools.
Seems it's the same as Austag but you have to pretend to clear the ruck after a tip, have a non contested scrum after a knock on, non contested line out if the ball goes in to touch and the offensive team gets 7 tags before they kick ( which is totally different to leagues 6 tackles lol )

Good luck Gaz, you're going to need it.

I noticed comments got turned off on this video, I'm guessing they weren't too positive lol

About 30 years ago they introduced a similar concept. I played it in the off season. I can’t see how it would compete with league tag/oz tag or touch as it’s too complex.

I actually enjoy playing and watching union but this is laughable. Touch is supposed to be a fast paced sport and just randomly making players huddle together after each touch just slows things down. It also looks hilarious and doesn’t even make sense.

When you play rugby a ruck can actually be a fun physical contest. In touch it’s literally just 2 people going and standing behind each other for no reason.

It’s just touch with added bullshit no one wants. Good luck.
