Rugby Sevens
Rugby Sevens is a fast-paced variant of Rugby, played with teams of seven players instead of the usual fifteen. The game is characterized by shorter matches and faster gameplay, with each half typically lasting only seven minutes. Players aim to score points by carrying, passing, and kicking the ball to advance it down the field and ultimately score tries. Rugby Sevens is known for its dynamic action, with plenty of running, tackling, and strategic play packed into each match.
