Prepared for a Tag Rugby Injury – What I’ve Learned?
I have discovered that being prepared for a tag rugby injury matters. Lots of us have heard about tag rugby but it came as a surprise to me to learn how popular it actually is out there.
I thought about it with more interest recently when a friends daughter explained to me how much fun it was to play.
Part of the attraction may be that it is often a mixed-sex sport where participants both male and female (mixed tag) can be competitive without being physically aggressive and it helps that a female gets more points for a score ( in mixed tag), meaning having a talented female on your team helps.
Tag Rugby is a popular sport all over the country, especially in our larger cities and towns.
It is also played also on a national and international level.
What is Tag Rugby?
According to ITRA, Tag is a Mixed Social Sport, suitable for all shapes, sizes, ages and sporting abilities, where guys and girls play together in a competitive environment.
Tag Rugby is a minimal contact team game in which each player wears shorts with velcro patches with two tags attached to them. The mode of play is similar to Rugby League or Touch Rugby with attacking players attempting to dodge, evade and pass a rugby ball while defenders attempt to prevent them scoring by “tagging” – pulling a velcro attached tag from the ball carrier.
Prepared for a Tag Rugby Injury - First Aid Matters!
Whilst learning more about tag rugby online I came across an article from the Irish Times which surprised me considering that tag rugby is in a different league to Rugby Union when it comes to physicality. Rugby itself as we all know is a physical full on contact sport so the occurrence of injury at times is not surprising.

Here are some bullet points from the article:
- Tag rugby-related injuries are on the rise at one of the State’s busiest emergency departments (st vincents) despite the activity involving very little contact, a sports doctor has warned.
- These ranged from fractured fingers to facial lacerations to broken noses and head injuries,
- some private clinics in Dublin treat about 100 tag rugby-related injuries a year.
- the sport was prone to injury because it involved players of varying fitness levels with “competitive interests”
