Rugby union is a game for all shapes, sizes, ages and abilities. With contact and non-contact formats the traditional 15 a side game is now enhanced by Sevens, Touch and Tag options. The key skills of the Sevens game are running, handling and contact making for a fast moving and exciting game for the fans as well as the players. With seven players per team playing seven minutes each way matches, the winning team is the one scoring the most points - 5 for a try and 2 for a "conversion" after the try. There are 1800 clubs across England where you are welcome to give the game a TRY"
