Touch rugby refers to games derived from rugby football in which players do not tackle in the traditional, highly physical way, but instead touch their opponents using their hands on any part of the body, clothing, or the ball.
Touch is a safer variant of rugby, particularly in schools and junior clubs, and as an informal social sport.
