Talk:Touch (sport)
A distinction needs to be made between actual Touch Football http://www.internationaltouch.com.au/ and what appears to be a muck around game "A common time for it to be played is as an end of training session on the day before an important rugby game, to reduce to a minimum the chances of an accidental injury"
Good on 131.244.3.45 for fixing this up.
I have moved this article from Touch Rugby to this name because for many people Touch rugby is what is described above. After the edits made by user:131.244.3.45 06:31, 9 Mar 2005 the article had become exclusivly about FIT so it is better that it has it's own article. Philip Baird Shearer 09:44, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
- Still not quite right - it's called Touch football (already taken) or just Touch. -- Paul 18:19, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Gee i hate this touch football stuff. This article's title, should not have in brakets (rugby league). It should, as it does, mention that it was derived from rugby league. We dont put "rugby" or "rugby union" in brakets after the rugby league's title, so why here? Hmm.. I'm going to brain storm about this for a while i think.
- It's to differentiate it from the American version of touch football. --Paul 12:02, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
- yes i dont have a problem with that so much, but witht he problem of it being touch football (rugby league). It should be touch football (rugby). You've got people in Europe thinking their playing a special form for touch rugby union which just doesnt exist. They're playing the same game as everyone else as governed by the FIT, which is touch rugby, aka touch, aka touch football (in australia). I'ts never been known as touch football rugby league or touch rugby league. POds 05:22, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- The league part of the title isn't meant to be its proper name, merely a disambiguation tag. As I said, if there was no such thing as american touch football, the article would merely be called "touch football". Also, the game has nothing do to with union, calling it touch rugby suggests that it has. It's non-contact LEAGUE--Paul 05:53, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Simply put, it's known as touch rugby right around the world. I propose touch football (rugby league) be moved to touch rugby. Then that one page can be used for all touch rugby, if indeed there is more the one kinda someone wishes to write about, which there appears not to be! POds 05:56, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
