Information AboutWorld Sevens Series |
The most famous Sevens event, the Hong Kong Sevens , returns to the series after a one-year hiatus in 2004-05 for the IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens , which was held in Hong Kong in March 2005 and won by Fiji . Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced, open affairs. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format, with the Hong Kong Sevens being the most famous. New Zealand and Fiji are traditionally the strongest teams, although recently Australia , Samoa , England , South Africa , Argentina and France have all won tournaments. England and South Africa won tournaments in both the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons; France won an event in 2004-05, and Argentina won an event in 2003-04. 2005-06 RESULTS See Also: 2005-06 World Sevens Series Only winners of each event are listed.
