Sevens Rugby

Sevens rugby is one of the most rapidly growing sports in the world.

This truly global version of the game involves 7 a side teams competing in fifteen minute long games. The rules applied are similar to those governing traditional rugby union, with minor revisions facilitating a fast-paced game.

The sevens rugby format boasts some impressive broadcast figures, with over a thousand hours of airtime dedicated to the game annually in 136 countries around the world. The growth in interest in this sport has allowed rugby sevens to take its place amongst the major betting sports.

IRB Sevens World Series

The highest level of the sevens rugby is the IRB World Sevens Series. Comprising 24 teams, the annual IRB World Sevens Series travels to 8 countries on 6 continents as teams compete for championship points in a series of high-profile tournaments.

The IRB Sevens World Series is enjoying rapid growth due to the presence of a number of teams not originating from traditional rugby playing strongholds. Kenya, Russia and Tunisia are just three of the teams who have played a major role in the development of sevens rugby.

• The Dubai Sevens
• The South African Sevens
