Touch Rugby is a brand new game for JOSH! This is an all-fun version of its rough-and-tumble predecessor. The basic difference between touch rugby and rugby is that if you have the ball and the opponent touches you, you have to give the ball over to the opponent and allow him to restart play. The other difference is that the ball here is spherical -- in fact, it's a tennis ball.

We assure you this game is a lot of fun. Come forward and participate!
