The "Sevens format" is a variant of rugby that features seven players on each team, instead of the traditional fifteen. Matches are played over two seven-minute halves, making the game fast-paced and exciting. This format is popular in tournaments, where teams compete in a series of short matches. Sevens rugby is known for its emphasis on speed and skill, with players often showcasing their agility and endurance. The format has gained international recognition, culminating in its inclusion in the Olympics since 2016. Major tournaments, such as the World Rugby Sevens Series, attract teams from around the globe.
