Seven players are on the field at any one time. Extra members of the team can be interchanged or substituted.
THE GAME
League 7s is played across a full sized rugby field. The sidelines of the full field will act as the try line.
There are no scrums – all events where a scrum would normally occur will be replaced with a change of possession.
There is no “in-goal” area – the ball is deemed to be “dead-in-goal” when the ball has passed the try line and is not in the possession of a player.
Tries are worth 1 point and there are no conversions.
Following a try the non-scoring team will restart play with a tap from the centre of the half-way line.
Kicking is allowed on any tackle provided the kick remains below shoulder height.
There is only one marker allowed at the play the ball.
The kicking team will not receive possession of the ball if they kick the ball out from a start or re-start of play. The receiving team will play the ball 5 metres in from the point where the ball crossed the touch line.
