If there's one player who knows about style, it's England's electric winger. Watch his top tips for the sandy surface. And read on for all the rules on Beach Tag Rugby.

What is Beach Tag Rugby?

It's a game that's fast-paced but non-contact. Suitable for men, women and children of all ages and ability. All you need is a rugby ball, a beach and plenty of style.

The aim of the game is to score a try by placing the ball just behind the opponent's 'goal line', or within the in-goal area. During a match all players wear a tag belt, which has two ribbons (tags) attached to it with Velcro. To tackle, a player simply needs to grab one of these ‘tags’ from the player in possession.

A squad is made up of ten people with no fewer than five players on the pitch at all times. Each side can have an agreed number of rolling substitutes (normally a maximum of five per game) to keep the match flowing. A substituted player can be re-used at anytime, so you can always get back into the action.

Playing the game, attacking with style

When attacking, the person with the ball runs forward looking for gaps in the defence. The attacker should try to avoid running into contact with defenders. To keep play flowing, dart into space, or try to pass the ball before being tagged. The other attacking players run behind the ball-carrier, ready to receive the ball.

Remember, dummy passes and trick passes won't earn you any extra points, but they will get noticed by the England players judging teams for the best beach style.

Playing the game, defending like a pro

In defence, players should attempt to prevent attackers scoring by making a 'tag' on the ball carrier. Defenders are not allowed to snatch the ball from a player's hands. Defenders cover the pitch, moving forward to apply pressure to the ball-carrier by denying them time and space.

You can still stand out in defence. By intercepting a pass and scoring a try. Or wearing a big curly wig.
