IRB Sevens World Series: For more information on the IRB Sevens World Series please go to www.irbsevens.com
The International Rugby Board (IRB)
started the Sevens series in 1997 in order to develop an
elite-level competition series between rugby nations and develop
the Sevens game into a viable commercial product of the IRB. The
2006/07 series encompasses seven cities around the world, with the
tournament season beginning in December and running thru June. All
international teams are competing for the World Sevens Series
Championship title by accumulating points based on their respective
finishes in each of these tournaments.
More than 35 nations will compete in the 2006/07 IRB Sevens series.
Sevens Rugby:
Played on the same
size field as traditional 15 a-side rugby, sevens rugby is played
with only seven players per team. In addition to a keen
understanding of how the game is played, pure speed and athleticism
are the foundation for the sevens rugby standout. The game is
played with non-stop action, thrilling attacks and game saving
tackles.
The USA Sevens debuted at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles,
California in February 2004, marking the first time the United
States ever hosted an official IRB event of this magnitude and
world importance. The tournament is now held at Petco Park in
San Diego, California
With 16 Nations, 44 Games and 2 incredible days of action, USA
Sevens is fast becoming one of the most exciting sporting events in
the United States.
