ngl it’s super cool to see how hyped people are getting about rugby as a sport now due to the olympics, especially US women’s rugby with their bronze medal win. such a great sport that deserves all the love it can get

I’ve played both 7s and 15s but vastly prefer 7s, just can’t stand how long and brutal 15s games are. I play both forward and back depending on need, though i mostly just pass bc i have a knack for swinging the ball out towards weaknesses in the defense

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.
