The BSc ENERGY AQUA RUGBY Festival, Australia’s first ever floating rugby tournament, is back and making a splash in Sydney’s Darling Harbour this week! The third season of the three-day rugby tournament on water will take place from Thursday 11th to Saturday 13th April on a 30 x 30 metre pontoon floating in Sydney’s iconic Darling Harbour.

Throughout the festivities, Sydneysiders can expect to see a star studded lineup of players diving off of the floating pitch and into the Sydney Harbour, with crash-tackles off of the pitch all in the attempt to score a try in this quirky version of the sport Australians know and love, Rugby!

The action on the floating pontoon is set to go up another level with a mix of former and current rugby greats as well as up and coming rugby talent playing in both the Men’s and Women’s formats, with an exciting Waratahs Greats v League Legends game among the matches. Over the weekend, there will also be teams playing that celebrate culture and diversity, including NZ Māori, Australian Army, NSW Country v NSW City and the Lloyd Mcdermott First Nations Rugby Side.
