There are a number of different rules that follow the general style of rugby union.
Some of the differences in rugby sevens are as follows:
- On the field, each team has seven players (rather than 15)
- Halftime is seven minutes (rather than 40)
- Five interchanges and substitutions (rather than 8)
- Half-time is two minutes long (rather than 10)
- In the event of a tie, golden point extra time will be played.
- Scrums with three players (rather than 8)
- Conversions from drop kicks (rather than placed)
- The team that scored last takes the field (not conceding team)
