Rugby Sevens

Rugby Sevens is a fast-paced variation of rugby union, played with seven players per side on a standard-sized field. Matches are shorter, typically lasting 14 minutes divided into two halves, which encourages quick, dynamic play. The game emphasizes speed, agility, and skill, with teams aiming to score by touching the ball down in the opponent's try zone. Despite fewer players and shorter matches, the game retains the core rules of rugby union, making it exciting and accessible. Rugby Sevens is popular internationally and features prominently in the Olympic Games, showcasing athleticism and strategic teamwork in a condensed format.
