No scrums, tackles or mauls: English grassroots rugby plans tentative return:

Stuff/Telegraph: An internal working group at the Rugby Football Union is understood to be working on variations of what is being described as "rugby activity" - focusing on reducing the levels of contact to encourage players to return to clubs next season, even if full contact is not allowed because of social-distancing measures. A range of phased activities is being considered, from social-distanced training to competitive touch rugby and a shortened version of the game similar to X-rugby, played on half a pitch with limited contact.

First time I've heard of X-rugby. Something like sevens, something like basketball substitution and play.

Rugby without a breakdown isn't really Rugby in my view. Also Scrums, though I never know what's going on ever :)

 

It's one of the main reasons I don't like League.
