Ripper Rugby

Ripper Rugby

Today Room 7 a great session at Ripper Rugby. Our coach was Matt, he is a coach at Varsity Rugby Union. Some students from our school know him because they currently play for Varsity.

Ripper rugby is a sport where there is no contact. Just two tags that you have to rip off their waist belt. It’s a very quick speed game. It’s fast and has a lot of intensity. (So back to the Recount).

First of all we had a warmup game, where 3 taggers have to tag you with a rugby ball. Once you get tagged you either have to do a pressup or a starjump. It was a very fun game. Then we moved on to passing. There are 4 cones set and you have to move the ball from one end to the other. We learnt that we have to have our targets up, communication etc.

After that we moved on to Bull Rush. Everyone had to get a belt and a tag. Later on we hopped straight on to the game. It started off as one tagger then the number of taggers went higher and higher. There was only two runners left and the whole class in the middle. They both tried their hardest but only one prevailed.

When the game ended we all packed up and had a huddle on what we had learnt today. I had learnt that we always have to communicate. So communicate and try your hardest in every game you play.
