• There is no kicking outside the 22 metre line.
• There is no pushing in the scrums
• Over vigorous play will not be tolerated
• Games will be played over 3 X twenty minute halves.
• There is unlimited interchange.
• Tackling is not mandatory. We are there have fun.
• The final score will be 9-All
• The referees will enforce the laws to the best of their ability. No correspondence will be entered into regarding any decision taken.
