The Great Britain Tag Rugby teams are set to continue their push to the top of international Tag Rugby and are seeking players who are interested in taking their playing journey to the next level.

The journey to the 2026 World Cup is well underway with registration for trials open ahead of the British & Irish Cup this summer.

There will be two trials being held to assess talent:

  • Northern Trial - Saturday 7th March

  • Southern Trial - Sunday 8th March

These trials are the primary selection events for 2026 squads. 

They are open to all eligible age categories.

ALL PLAYERS are expected to attend one of the trial dates, regardless of previous GB experience.

If you are a 2025 GB player unable to make any of the trial dates please complete an exemption form. It will be made available by emailing greggcropper@greatbritaintagrugby.com
