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

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
