Format Changes

We are no longer Minis ! We are now called Junior Rugby. The move to U-10 involves considerable changes, to more closely approximate senior rugby and the competition is run by the Sydney Junior Rugby Union (SJRU). 

The year will be about mastering Tackle, Bust, Catch, Run, Pass 

It’s a full length field field less 10m width L:100m, W:60m. The pre season is alot about getting familiar with this and using the space

Playing time remains the same – 2*20 min halves

Slightly Bigger Ball – Size 4!
