This season we have teamed up with Rugby Australia for player registration and insurance.

New Fees reduced to $50 per player. (Adults and Juniors).

Players need to register in Rugby Xplorer as a “Touch 7s Player” to the Onkaparinga RUFC.

Weekly is only advised for people playing one game or on a try before you buy scenario. See the “Onkaparinga Touch 7s Manual” for more details. Team Managers please complete the “Team Nomination Form” from the “Onkaparinga Touch 7s Manual” and email to us at onkatouch@gmail.com- with approximate player numbers.
