Aqua Rugby Predictions & Betting Tips

Aqua Rugby is a game that is as unpredictable as it is exciting. The premise of the game sees players getting smashed off the sides and into the water, while tries are scored by diving off the edge of the pontoon between the corner flags. 

The game itself is fairly similar to traditional rugby union with some small exceptions. The pitch is obviously far smaller and is a floating pontoon. The teams have less players with rolling-subs for when players leave the pontoon. Ultimately, Aqua Rugby is the best place to make a splash in the world of rugby!

Played on the Manly Shoreline in Australia, avid fans of the game can watch from the shore or on boats and yachts. While the competition may not be as big as standard rugby union or rugby league matches, the tournament itself it gaining popularity quickly. 

The competition will be played out across November 10-12, 2022. New Zealand legend Ma'a Nonu is the headline act at the competition this year, with the All Blacks icon set to be joined by Wallabies winger Drew Mitchell and Wallaroos lock Sera Naiqama.
