Rugby Sevens is seven-a-side rugby played at lightning speed on a full-size rugby pitch.

It’s bone-crunching hits, silky ball skills, elusive running and dynamic teamwork packed into two thrilling halves of seven minutes.

With more room to roam and less time for play, the result is a version of the game of rugby that is shorter, faster and high scoring. On average, a try is scored every 70 seconds.

Some of the world’s leading Rugby Sevens teams will compete at Birmingham 2022. There are sixteen teams in the men’s competition and eight teams in the women’s competition.

In addition to the sport there will be plenty to see and do at the Coventry Stadium. You can ‘Have a go’ at Rugby and maybe even meet an athlete or Perry the Bull, Birmingham 2022’s official mascot.
