My bad. Wasn't really paying attention, but we needed a sevens thread.

I didn't get to watch it, but I assume the broadcasting presentation was awful and dumbed down like it always is on American coverage of rugby.

i like 7s but i think it'd be better if they played longer - maybe 12 minute halves?

I was drunk one night flipping through channel and watched about 30 minutes of some rubgy 7 game, I think they were aussies. It was facinating because the plays all looked like one big triple option but I never figured out the rules.

People would die of exhaustion. Championship games are 10 minute halves and are basically the hardest thing in the world.

Samoa vs Fiji a few weeks ago might have been the best sevens match ever. Samoa would DOMINATE when they had the ball. Powerful running, passing with surgical execution, etc. But Fiji had lightning quick wings who would score every time they touched the ball. Went into overtime at like 35-35 (

) and in overtime, a skydiver landed on the field during the middle of a try run. Just absolute mayhem.

Oh, I won't disagree with you on that. I just think about it from the spectator standpoint. Barely enough time to knock off a pint before the game is over.

My cousin coaches rugby at Michigan and came across this pic of a U of M rugby alum from 1969. It is a pretty boss pic.
