Rugby Union vs. rugby sevens

Many variations/versions of the game of Rugby, Rugby Union is the original, Rugby Sevens is also very poplar.Rugby Union has more players and is longer (15 players, playing 40 minute halves)Rugby Sevens has fewer athletes and less time on the clock which means a faster game. (7 players, playing 7-10 minute halves)For PE class we will be playing a flag rugby version of Rugby SevensMore variations between the two versions on upcoming slideSlide4

Rugby sevens

A variant of rugby union invented in 1883 by Ned Haig, a butcher from Melrose, Scotland.Administered by World Rugby, the body responsible for Rugby Union WorldwideOriginated in Melrose, Scotland in the 1880sPlayed with 7 players instead of 15, 7 minute halves instead of 40 minute halvesPopularity increased further with the development of the Hong Kong Sevens in the 1970sWorld Rugby Seven Series in 19992009 vote by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) to bring rugby back to the Olympics in 2016Also played at regional events such as the Commonwealth Games and the Pan American Games.Slide5

Rugby sevens rules & Positions

Played on a standard rugby union field measuring 100 meters long and 70 meters wide.Teams are composed of 3 forwards and 4 backsPositions include Forwards and BacksForwards include: Props and HookersProps main role is to scrummage, support in the line-out, tackle, and hit the rucks and maulsHookers Key elements are line outs and scummagingBacks include: Scrum-half, Fly-half, Centre, WingScrum-half

 Basic role is to deliver the ball from the base of the scrum, ruck or maul to spark the backline

Fly-half The “General” (or Quarterback); running the game

Centre The fly-half of the midfield

Wing RUN!!!Slide6

Variations to the laws of the game

7 players per team on field (instead of 15).Five substitutes, with five interchanges (instead of 7 and 7).Seven-minute halves, though ten-minute halves are allowed in the final of a competition (instead of 40-minute halves, in fifteen-a-side).Maximum of two minutes half-time (instead of fifteen minutes).Matches drawn after regulation are continued into sudden-death extra time, in multiple 5-minute periods.All conversion attempts must be drop-kicked (instead of having the option to place-kick).Conversions must be taken within 30 seconds of scoring a try (instead of 60 seconds). Prior to 2016, the limit had been 40 seconds.Three player scrums (instead of eight players).Kick-offs: in sevens, the team which has just scored kicks off, rather than the conceding team, as in fifteen-a-side.Yellow cards net a 2-minute suspension (instead of 10 minutes) to the offender.Referees decide on advantage quickly (where one play usually ends advantage, unlike in fifteens).

In major competitions, there are additional officials present

(in-goal touch judges) to judge success of kicks at goals and hence the game is not delayed waiting for touch judges to move into position to judge conversion attemptsSlide7
