The 2024 Touch Rugby World Cup took place in Nottingham recently from July 15 to 21 and no less than 11 Wicklow players took their places on six of the Irish squads which travelled to the tournament.
Touch rugby is six-a-side, non-contact version of rugby which is very popular in Australia and New Zealand where it happens to be the number one participation sport. Here in Ireland, it is growing in popularity with nearly 500 players.
