15. ‘Touch My Brum’ Special

Rob arrives at the Clubhouse to find Jack deep in guitar practice for an upcoming audition! 

As the Rugby Union World Cup continues, they relive Rob’s participation at the annual ‘Touch My Brum’ inclusive Touch Rugby tournament in July, with his team the Clapham Feelers. We follow the Feelers three teams as they journey through the tournament. The  Diamonds go all out to defend their title, the Emeralds aim to go one better than the semi’s last year and the Rubies go all out to prove their potential, but who will take the Crown!

Rob meets players and staff from other competing LGBTQI+ Touch teams from across the country including Manchester Village Spartans, Reading Renegades and the hosts, Birmingham Bulls RFC, David Cumpston.

For anyone interested in playing Touch Rugby visit England Touch and if you’re interested in going along to your local International Gay Rugby (IGR) Team to get involved in Touch or full 15-a-side Rugby Union or 13-a-side Rugby League check out the links below.

Thanks to all those we spoke to and the competing teams who made it a fantastic tournament.
