7 players? That’s not rugby union or league. What type of rugby is it with 7 players?
It’s rugby union. while yes, rugby is typically played with 15 players a side, it is also common to play with seven during the spring and summer. Sevens is quickly becoming more and more popular, as it places a greater emphasis on speed, athleticism, and agility compared to 15s. Rugby sevens just finished up at the Olympics last weekend; the olympics doesn’t even offer 15s as an event.
