The O2 Kick, Pass and Run Challenge
Kick
The target scoring area will have three circles with scores marked on each. All competitors will take 3 kicks at the target from a set distance and each score will be added to give a final total.
Pass
Points can be accumulated by passing rugby balls from a set point through different sized score holes the smaller the hole the bigger the score. Each competitor will pass 3 balls at the target with each score added to give a final total.
