The
Rugby Sevens is a rugby tournament where smaller teams compete. "Seven" refers to the number of players on each time, as opposed to the usual 15. Because there are less than half the players on the field, the game has much more offensive ball movement, and the scoring is higher. The tournament in Queenstown was for all New Zealand and lasted several days. J had a great time talking with people in the crowd about the Rugby rules. Apparently, the Sevens are kind of a minor-league, where the best players go on to be running backs for the larger rugby teams. We saw two streakers run out into the field, both to be tackled by security. A dog also ran out onto the field when a guy parachuted in, but that was more understandable.
