Under 13 Boys

New Laws

These are the new laws introduced by the RFU at the Under 13 age group to help children play and develop their rugby skills, with each age group progressing incrementally through the game's core elements.

  • Maximum of 1.5m push permitted.
  • Limited to maximum 45 degree wheel before reset.
  • Scrums can be uncontested if players are not comfortable in position.
