🏈 What Is Swyft Rugby?

Swyft Rugby is a revolutionary version of rugby built for speed, simplicity, and nonstop action. It combines the best of rugby league, rugby union, and gridiron into a fast, clean, relentless game that anyone can learn in minutes. With just ten core rules and a full-sized rugby field, Swyft Rugby strips away complexity while keeping the intensity that makes rugby great.

🔥 Why Swyft Rugby Works

Built for the Modern Athlete

  • Lightning-fast possession cycles — 6 plays to score or gain 30 yards keeps the game moving
  • One strategic forward pass per possession adds tactical depth without slowing play
  • Play-the-ball system keeps action flowing — no waiting, no stoppages
  • Clean, safe tackling with a strict 2-tackler maximum and below-nipple rule
  • 10-yard buffer zones create space and protect players while maintaining defensive intensity

Designed for Immediate Action

  • Zero excuses, zero clutter — just ten rules to master
  • No penalty kicks, no debates — violations simply move the ball 10 yards
  • 20-second restart rule keeps momentum alive
  • Drop-kick conversions and strategic scrums add skill without stopping flow

🧬 How It Works

The Essentials

  • 12v12 format on a full-sized rugby field — familiar dimensions, new possibilities
  • 6-play possession cycles with one forward pass — every yard matters
  • Scoring simplified: 5 points for a try, 2 for a conversion
  • Strategic scrums: 6-forward hooking competitions (3-2-1 formation) — no pushing, pure technique
  • Sideline = turnover — keep it in bounds or give it up

The Innovation

  • Combines rugby's continuous play with tactical passing strategy
  • Play-the-ball keeps defenders 10 yards back — creates dynamic attacking space
  • No kicking in general play means more possession, more strategy, more action
  • Clean infringement system: every violation = 10 yards, restart in 20 seconds
