7 on 7 Rugby

Unlike 15s, 7s is comprised of 7 players a side - 3 forwards and 4 backs.

What is

"Sevens"

?

Rugby 101

Just a Little

01

Basic Game Play 

Much like football, the idea of the game is for each side to advance through the defensive line of the opposing team to reach the other side of the pitch. The main goal is to touch the ball on the ground (Try) past the goal line.

02

More Game Play

Players only pass sideways and backwards. No blocking is allowed. Kicking is the only way teams can move forward. Play is continuous, even after players are tackled.

03

Tackling, Rucks, Mauls 

A TACKLE is at least 1 knee on the ground. Once tackled the player MUST release the ball. A RUCK forms when opposing players on their feet encounter a loose ball. A MAUL is when 3 or more players advance the ball carrier through pushing forward to gain ground. 

04

Scoring

Try is like a touchdown, it's 5 Points. Conversion is like an extra point or PAT, it's 2 points. Penalty goal is like a penalty kick, but a field goal caused by a penalty. It's 3 points. 

05

Passing As A Real Rugby Fan

Just have fun, drink some beers, and act like you know what the heck is going on! You'll be fine. :)
