2026 Junior High T1 Rugby League Information
Rugby Nova Scotia is excited to continue with T1 Rugby for the 2026 junior high rugby season! Following the successful launch of this format in 2025, all league play will continue under the same T1 Rugby rules, including the “tackle triangle” modification. Rules and supporting resources can be found under the Resources tab.
2026 T1 Rugby Jamborees:
- The league will host
five separate jamborees at the SMU Gymnasium throughout the season.
- This new format guarantees teams more games against a variety of schools, professionally refereed by Nova Scotia officials.
The 2026 T1 Rugby Tournament will be a two-day event:
- Day 1: Round-robin and qualifying matches
- Day 2: Playoffs featuring both winning and consolation brackets
To support teachers and coaches, Rugby Nova Scotia will also host another professional development (PD) session, with details to be confirmed soon.
We look forward to building on the success of last season and continuing to grow T1 Rugby across Nova Scotia’s junior high schools, making the game fun, inclusive, and engaging for all!

South Coast Senior League
Round 5 match summary
Figtree Kangaroos 10. 10. 70 defeated Helensburgh Tigers 10. 9. 69
A thrilling encounter saw the Roos come from behind to secure a crucial 1 point victory. Down by 12 points at halftime, captain Jake Morrison sparked the comeback with a brilliant individual goal in the late in the 3rd quarter. Young gun winger Tommy Chen sealed the win with a spectacular off-the-ground finish in the dying minutes. The defensive effort from Mike Stevens and Danny Walsh was outstanding, making crucial tackles when it mattered most.
Best Players: J. Morrison (c), T. Chen, M. Stevens, D. Walsh, S. Parker
