Rugby 7s



whats rugby

While rugby 7s rules are similar in structure to the 15s game there are some differences. In-goal judges are used to determine kicks at goal, penalties and drop goals. They also help with try score scoring. Foul penalties are similar to those in rugby 15, but are usually shorter taps than longer ones. A foul is used as a punishment for any act that could be deemed poor sportsmanship and/or disrespectful to the referee.

Lineouts

A lineout is a restart of the game after the ball is kicked into touch. A lineout allows the team to gain possession with the best possible chances.

Dropouts

Dropouts in rugby 7s rules are a contested issue in the sport. A Breakdown Working Group, which is a specialist in the field of breakdowns, has reviewed current rules to find the best approach to reducing breakdown risk. The goal-line dropout rule and the single ladder catch and drive are two of the key laws being examined. Both these changes will affect all types of rugby.


Long and short kicks

Long and short kicks are both part of the game of rugby sevens. Each team must be able and capable of executing them. The game is fast-paced. Players have to keep up with the pace of play. This game is more physically demanding than traditional rugby.

Foul penalties

Rugby 7s is a sevens version of rugby 15s. If a player doesn't follow the rules, he/she may be penalized. Fouls may include blocking or intentionally throwing the ball out of play. Foul language and disrespect for match officials are also infractions.
