With no winners or losers, it is becoming a game for all ages and abilities
WALKING rugby is changing the game by putting friendship ahead of competition.
With no scrums, tackles, or kicking, this non-contact version of rugby welcomes players of all ages and abilities — all that is needed is a rugby ball and a sense of humour.
The Llandaff Chiefs walking rugby team consists of players from their late 30s to late 70s, many joining not only for physical fitness but for companionship.

Since starting in October 2023, the Chiefs have gathered on Llandaff Fields every Sunday at 11am for their weekly practice, embracing the game’s spirit of inclusion and joy.
Teams come together across Wales to play at walking rugby festivals, which are non-competitive. Games typically last for seven to 10 minutes, and while no-one keeps score, teams are celebrated for fair play and sporting spirit.
And players are adamant that the game is not about reliving past rugby glories.
“No egos, hierarchy, dramas, or backbiting,” says David Beese, the Chiefs’ team manager.
“Everyone is equal and, quite simply, it’s a lot of fun.”
