Rugby league sevens

Rugby league sevens

 

Rugby league may also be played under seven-a-side rules, though this is less common as an alternative when compared with rugby league nines. Rugby sevens originated some years before the split between rugby union and rugby league, but the game had not spread from Scotland at this stage, and it was not until the 1960s, that an RL version of sevens emerged.

The game is substantially the same as full rugby league, however scrums involve only three players per team, and all kicks at goal must be made by drop-kicks. The major tournament was the World Sevens played prior to the start of the National Rugby League season in Sydney, but the tournament has been cancelled.

Rugby league sevens is particularly popular with pub teams — formed from the regulars at a particular public house, the reason for this is that it is often difficult for a single pub to form a full squad of 13 players and four substitutes of willing players.
