Throughout human history, mankind has tried to express its diverse energy and physical prowess, pushing its body to their absolute limit in the way of sports. One of the most trending sports of the 21st century is rugby. With over 4.6 million players dispersed around 18 thousand clubs around the world, it is no debate that rugby is one of the most well known sports across the globe. One of the more promising variants of this beautiful game is the Rugby Sevens, a game played with only seven-a-side instead of the usual 15 and with shorter matches. This variant is incredibly superior in the forms of the entertainment it provides to the fans, the equal opportunity it gives to smaller countries and the sheer athleticism needed to play the game on national level.
To begin, one of the advantages Rugby Sevens has over Rugby Fifteens is the constant full on action packed games, capable of grasping and retaining the attention of its audience throughout the entirety of the match. Often times, the scrums, the method of which the game is restarted if there is a foul, in rugby fifteens are an awful mess. The many failures of the scrum leads to a lot of time being wasted and so the spectators do not get to enjoy the full game. Indeed, former Scotland Head Coach affirms: "[However] scrum time is "broke". Our lawmakers need to act, to avoid serious injury and to revive "fast-ball" so a new generation can sample the joy of attacking play from scrums". By that statement, it is clear and perfectly evident that for the moment, there is a problem that needs fixing in rugby fifteens to keep the spectators well entertained. However, all of this is contrasted by the dynamism of rugby sevens where the plays are much more accentuated into speed and agility. Nowadays, sevens players have the speed of Olympic sprinters, the body of wrestlers and the shiftiness of NFL running backs.
