I was introduced to Rugby 🏉 in 2019. I spent 7 weeks in New Zealand working as a physio and fell in love with this sport esp. Rugby 7s. Cheers for making these videos. Very informative.
Can confirm, I've played and refereed in a few local sevens tournaments and it's amazing how much just one game can take out of you, especially when it's a high-scoring game!
@@TheOriginalStix I was just rewatching the Olympic 7s gold medal match (women’s) from 2016 between Australia and NZ (it’s official, that medal match has to have the record for most out lesbians competing in one match, I think the number is at 13 for both teams combined, you could make a full team based off that stat alone, lol). I don’t know if I care, as long as the Americans stop choking under pressure and actually give support and help to the American rugby team, maybe we could actually win a gold medal (I think the women did it twice in the 2000s but the men never have to My knowledge). I prefer the women’s game. The men are a lot quicker and faster paced but that’s about it. The women are bleeding and cut up. I saw that Olympic replay on TV, it was on the Olympic channel as a Olympic replay day, and I have to say the women’s was a lot more fun to watch than the guys even though I didn’t know half the rules. It’s quite funny that there was a part in the game at the end, right before the Ozzie’s scored their game-clinching try, and the Ozz tackled her and got the ball on a turnover, or whatever it’s called when they try to flick it to a teammate and the other team scoops it up, well it was just three passes before that score that the NZ tackled her real-life Ozz girlfriend and landed on top of her. You can see the one lady, the Ozz, got tackled, and then kinda push the NZ player off her in a playful kinda way.
@@TheOriginalStix Also, about those two being together, how tough is that being against your significant other and watch them cry because they lost the gold medal match to your team.
@@TheOriginalStix I’m actually just graduated from school, a little school in a 20,000 person town, but I watch and see the college rugby women’s team to at it in practices and man they look like they’re having a ton of fun, but I hope they can go further this year in the confernade than last year as 2020 was supposed to be their first year as a team and not a club, but it was cancelled so they couldn’t practice. It’s nice to see them out there practicing.
Yea not only was it the most entertaining sport there but what a great story with Fiji winning Gold for the country's first medal. It meant so much to the players and the country as a whole.
@@davidfox9947 David, I, too, enjoyed seeing Fiji win the gold - I'm now anticipating the next Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo, just to see Fiji defend their gold medal.
Great vid, Ninh! I played rugby union for a year and a half when I attended university in the States...we strictly played union during the season, but would usually have several players go to the annual Rugby 7s tournament in Las Vegas (it's held every February). In my opinion, 7s is the perfect gateway sport for athletes who are interested in playing union. It still requires plenty of athleticism and discipline, but is simple enough to provide a way to become a fundamentally sound rugby player in union format.
Agreed! I think Sevens will bring a new audience and new players to the sport of Rugby in general, just like T20 did for Cricket. Good Sevens players probably have a decent Union future ahead of them. Cheers :)
I have been shooting 7s this year with a local club and following college teams...the action in 7s is intense and exciting to watch! Thanks for putting these episodes out !
@@ivettenabor6018 Sucks That we haven’t gotten over the semifinal slump since 2008 when we medaled. 2012 was very much the same thing and we thought bright things were ahead for us until one of the captains got hurt and it threw off the rest of the team and lineup. We normally are a favorite in the Worlds and Olympics, and for good reason, but just because we’re top 5 in the world doesn’t mean crap when we can’t even win an Olympic quarterfinals in 9 years. Going to be 10 years coming up this year.
I think Rugby Sevens will catch on, and drum up more interest for Rugby Union in general. Rugby League have their own version (9's) but it's nowhere near as popular.
Yeah I must admit, the HSBC World 7's is quite entertaining and matches are over in 15 minutes and you get to see several teams at once. What's there not to like?! Thanks for stopping by! :)
I went to the Adelaide Sevens every year, and had the time of my life for those very reasons. Getting to see an entire international tournament happen over a weekend is so cool, especially when the action on the field is always exciting.
Definitely ... I'm going to have to see a London 7's tournament or make an excuse to go to some exotic location just to watch this thing. Always see it on the TV, but never seen one in real life!
For the spectator one of the biggest advantages that 7's has over Union is that there's more competition between national sides. In the RWC it's almost always going to be NZ, South Africa (ehh...maybe), Australia, Argentina, and England to be favourites to win whereas in 7's NZ has stellar competition against countries like Fiji, Wales, Georgia and Kenya!
Agreed! It's less of a foregone conclusion in Sevens and any team can win on any given day. I watched Canada beat the Aussies and the USA beat New Zealand, so anything's possible in this game! Good points!
The NZRU allows it. Liam messam (former sevens players) and SBW actually played in the team that represented NZ in the olympics. New Zealand lost by the way
As a American who's favorite sports are American Football and Hockey (ice) I got into Rugby a couple of years ago because of 7's now it's probably my next favorite sport League or Union.
This is a very good video primer on the sport of Sevens - and I shall remember these rules for quite some time. Believe it or not, I've had an idea for a Sevens board game, and I shall research a bit more and even try to research some of the teams in Sevens - especially those clubs in the Kings of the Sevens series. I thank you for this video, and I wish you only the best.
How true, Kalle - this video by Ninh has inspired me to want to develop and offer for sale to the public a Sevens board game; admittedly, I may not be in the same league as some other game publishers, but at least I can give it a try.
I just started to watch rugby 7s this year and I can say I like it better then 15 aside. I really like how if you missed a tackle the guy will most luckily score instead of getting tackled in 15s.
Big list at the end was very handy - my 15s game tomorrow is likely to turn into sevens, and as a 40-year-old forward who's never played Sevens, this worries me
Ummm, it's not really a sport I had in mind. You're the only one that's asked for it so far. Besides, I have an even better one lined up in the future ... 20 of them in fact.
Also, if an opposing player intercepts the ball but has a knock-on because of it, that's deemed as a deliberate knock-on. The player will be given an yellow card (the player sits out of play for 2 minutes)
You used to be able to create links via annotations. TH-cam have now scrapped annotations so they don't work anymore. You can still find those videos on my channel. Thanks.
I saw them explained during the rugby and cricket world cups. You might hear more about rugby x if you keep watching the Rugby World Cup. Or see a brief preview here: th-cam.com/video/UPd-viLLxuM/w-d-xo.html&app=desktop th-cam.com/video/SV3J6pFzwWc/w-d-xo.html&app=desktop
I'm playing rugby sevens tomorrow with my friends only difference is, we play for 15 mins each half and a 5 min break half time, basically there's 16 of us we rotate each time to have 2 people who ref I had my turn to ref last time we played, I always play as either fly half or scrum half.
Interesting variation of the rules?! I know that in championship games the IRB may allow 10 minute halves but that's it. 15 minutes is way too long for a Sevens game.
Its just to make the game a little bit longer, we're only there just to have fun. not play professionally or competitively, and it a good cardio work out.
Do you have to be in contact with a ball when you touch it to the ground after a try? It doesn't seem like it but I was wondering if something like a spike from american football would work to confirm a try.
Yes, you must place the ball on the ground with downward pressure as mentioned in the video. You must be in full contact with the ball over the try line, and you cannot be out of bounds at any point. You cannot spike the ball - this does not count.
After i saw this Video + Watching Nintendo Wii U Rio 2016 Rugby 7 Gameplay, i wish that another movie about Rugby could be made, this time Bowser as the Main Character, watching Invictus with Morgan Freeman & Matt Damon gives me those ideas, it looks awsome!.
Didn't you just ask that on one of my other videos? Both of my lacrosse videos aren't watched all that much, and I would assume that the differences would be obvious once you've watched both of those. If I get more demand, I'll consider it, but I don't see it.
May I point out that I'm aware of that, but this is a beginners video and doesn't include every nuance. By doing so, would confuse a complete beginner who doesn't know what Rugby Sevens is.
The lack of consistency is probably what brings Nines down. Otherwise, it's a totally watchable sport. Subscribe & check out my channel for more like this :)
Why are there so many forms of rugby? The rugby federations should gather around and form a new mutual set of rules for a new rugby, specially rugby union and League. Because this game can have way more fans but the fans are spreading now! It's like football when there is only one form it would be way more valuable and more profitable!
I believe that each code of Rugby are trying condensed versions of their games to make it more appealing to television and to newer spectators. Has it worked? I'm not so sure. As for a merger between League and Union, both codes have mutated into completely different sports, though on the surface they look similar.
ok, came here after watching some Olympic rugby highlights. Why do some people run into the "end zone" and not immediately touch the ball down? It seems they run in the back and wait until someone is going to tackle them and then touch it down. Is that some sort of show boating? Do they get more points or something the longer they are there?
The conversion kick (the extra 2 points) will be on the same line as where the ball is touched down, generally you're going to want to touch down right behind the goal posts.
I freaking love the sevens game, but the only thing I don't like is the 2 7 minute halves thing. I know why they do it, but I wish they would play 4 7 minute quarters instead. I love high scoring contests and with only 14 players on a pitch, there's plenty of offense, but I want more scoring and longer games.
The scoring is high enough anyway. Whilst I agree that games should be longer, realistically they came up with 'seven minutes' to keep games short and tournaments last a single day. It's mainly for TV and marketing purposes, not necessarily what's best for the game. Thanks bro!
Sevens is a variation of Rugby Union, so generally Union first. However, there are plenty of League converts as well as converts from other sports, such as 100m/200m sprinters.
The law states that 'The scrum half must throw in the ball from the side of the scrum first chosen' so I think that means that the scrum half must pick a side and keep throwing the ball from that side.
I think every scrum they can choose which side but they can't choose one side and then quickly swap to the other side......unlike 15's where they can only put it in from the left.
Is there a drawback to taking the conversion? USA women won today because Australia didn't take the conversion after a late try, but the Americans scored as time expired, and did take the conversion.
Like your videos on sports but there is a mistake in both of your videos on Rugby Union and Rugby 7s. The conversion is not awarded 20 meters from the goal line but everywhere on the perpendicular line through the spot of try.
It's roughly at the 22, though it can be further away or closer than the 22. I often use the term 'the twenty' as that's what everyone calls the 22 on average.

Ninh Ly i'd like to see a rules of shinty explained. There really isn't a place to learn the rules easily. Have a nice day! :)
Good luck with that ... it's not played professionally and there's no usable footage out there to make a video about it. Might want to just Google it.
Can players playing for a nation in rugby union also play for the rugby sevens team of that nation?
In short: its rugby with 7 ppl per team playing for 7 minute halves (unless its the final) and you drop kick for a conversion
Look forward to the Rugby 9s rules.
I was introduced to Rugby 🏉 in 2019. I spent 7 weeks in New Zealand working as a physio and fell in love with this sport esp. Rugby 7s. Cheers for making these videos. Very informative.
7s is a sideshow 15s is the real rugby
The level of fitness u need to play rugby sevens is actually unreal, great video Ninh, keep them coming!
Thanks man, yes - it's an incredible game that requires a huge level of stamina due to the wide open field. Thanks for your comment!

I actually look more foward to 7's than conventional rugby/league. it's more entertaining and NZ doesn't win all the time lol

New Zealand would dominate 7s if the NZRU let its 15s players play.
NZRU mentality: All Blacks >>>>> Super Rugby >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 7s.
The NZRU allows it. Liam messam (former sevens players) and SBW actually played in the team that represented NZ in the olympics. New Zealand lost by the way
Oi. Its going to be new zealand, new zealand, new zealand, or maayyybe new zealand
7s is worse pretty much the same sides win all the time 15s has more competition

Thanks Marc ... and Guile's new SFV theme is awesome!
Thank you for making this video. I had no idea if there were penalty goals in 7s, because I can honestly say I've never seen any.
It''s rare for sure, but you can score from them. thanks for the comments!
It should probably be taken completely out. It just kills the 7'sgame if a team wins by penalty goal.
I love your videos and choosing guiles theme as background music was perfect

Totally! Given that games last no longer than 15 minutes, it'd only take you half an hour to watch two!

Sure.
Loved Sevens, Now do the nines, still waiting on MMA, Bowling, Dodgeball, and some paralympic sports such as Goalball, boccia, and Wheelchair Rugby

Hey Ninh for your next sport you should do 3x3 basketball it has a lot of major rule differences then its 5v5 counterpart.
Ummm, it's not really a sport I had in mind. You're the only one that's asked for it so far.
Besides, I have an even better one lined up in the future ... 20 of them in fact.
I thought it may be the right time to ask since the FIBA 3x3 world championship starts this month.
I get that. And yeah in hindsight, it'd be pretty cool to do a video about if there's enough demand for it.
Also, if an opposing player intercepts the ball but has a knock-on because of it, that's deemed as a deliberate knock-on. The player will be given an yellow card (the player sits out of play for 2 minutes)
Great video! Do you think you could explain the rules to jai-alai?
If there's enough demand maybe. But truth be told, I don't even know how that's played.

Can you do a difference between box and field lacrosse please
Didn't you just ask that on one of my other videos?
Both of my lacrosse videos aren't watched all that much, and I would assume that the differences would be obvious once you've watched both of those.
If I get more demand, I'll consider it, but I don't see it.
may I point out that in matches that are considered to be finals (cup final, bronze final etc) the game lasts 20 minutes instead of 14
May I point out that I'm aware of that, but this is a beginners video and doesn't include every nuance.
By doing so, would confuse a complete beginner who doesn't know what Rugby Sevens is.

One other great thing about sevens… The fancy dress parties in the stands!
Not really an aspect of the game itself ... but kinda, yeah.
do the rules to mixed martial arts plz!
Maybe if there's enough demand.
Isn't passing rules the same for 7s and union ? i.e. no forward passing only sideways and back ?
Yes, this was mentioned in the video. The games are identical except for a few rules.
@@NinhLyUK thanks .. I was just asking because the way it was explained in the video it was implying the no passing forward rule is only for rugby 7s

If there's enough demand, but I don't see it. You're the only one that's asked for that.
Ninh Ly Ok fair enough
Finally
These things take ages to make, I'm not joking!
Ninh Ly no I mean I finally a found a rugby 7s rule video
Oh right ... ummm, I must admit there's not that many around.
Lacrosse came up with their own version of this called "Sixes" and its drastically different from 10v10 lacrosse
ok, came here after watching some Olympic rugby highlights. Why do some people run into the "end zone" and not immediately touch the ball down? It seems they run in the back and wait until someone is going to tackle them and then touch it down. Is that some sort of show boating? Do they get more points or something the longer they are there?
The conversion kick (the extra 2 points) will be on the same line as where the ball is touched down, generally you're going to want to touch down right behind the goal posts.
@@forestflood5338 ah, that now makes sense. Thanks much!
What @Forest Flood said.
Ninh did u know there's a type of rugby league called nines? Maybe u could make a video about rugby league nines?
Yes, I'm fully aware of nines.
If I get time to make it I might.
If I don't, I won,'t.
Oh you've already done it
You might want to check my other videos before you post comments for requests.
Converts do not need to be kicked from 20M out. They can be kicked from any distance as long as they're in line with where the try was grounded.
Yes.
Rugby sevens would make a *great* indoor sport. Think arena football, only it's rugby. That way you could have longer games in the same format.
Tackles would hurt though.
@@NinhLyUK That's a good point. I didn't think of that. And they can't really put pads on the floor.
0:46 I don't know why I have the sudden urge to play street fighter, for some strange reason.
Guile's theme goes with everything ...!
Is that ryu's SF theme that I hear?
I freaking love the sevens game, but the only thing I don't like is the 2 7 minute halves thing. I know why they do it, but I wish they would play 4 7 minute quarters instead. I love high scoring contests and with only 14 players on a pitch, there's plenty of offense, but I want more scoring and longer games.
The scoring is high enough anyway. Whilst I agree that games should be longer, realistically they came up with 'seven minutes' to keep games short and tournaments last a single day. It's mainly for TV and marketing purposes, not necessarily what's best for the game. Thanks bro!
So do most sevens players start off playing union first? Or league or sevens?
Sevens is a variation of Rugby Union, so generally Union first. However, there are plenty of League converts as well as converts from other sports, such as 100m/200m sprinters.
Anyone play sevens thrive in both codes.
Street fighter music lets go
There's not many SFV tracks I haven't used!
What If You Score a Try on a Conversion?
Edit Oh Wait, I’ve Just Read it In The Thingy At 3:20 lol xD! #NeverCommentTooEarly
Yeah, never mind.
But for clarification, you cannot score a try from a conversion kick.
you can throw the ball to the scrum only from the left side ?
The law states that 'The scrum half must throw in the ball from the side of the scrum first chosen' so I think that means that the scrum half must pick a side and keep throwing the ball from that side.
I think every scrum they can choose which side but they can't choose one side and then quickly swap to the other side......unlike 15's where they can only put it in from the left.
BGM is… Guiles theme in Street Fighters 2?!
What's the Time Duration ?
The amount of time of the contest.
1:10 - onto the ground not the floor. Also 1:47.
Is there a drawback to taking the conversion? USA women won today because Australia didn't take the conversion after a late try, but the Americans scored as time expired, and did take the conversion.
It's the same as 15s except with backs pretty much. I've played 7s and 15s.
Basically, yes and with a few other nuances.
Rugby sevens play with the Rugby Union and League ball it's okay?
Yes.
I thought all forms of rugby do not allow forward passes?
OMG nz is the best team ever
Do rules of Aukland Nines
Too many variations of the game.
Like your videos on sports but there is a mistake in both of your videos on Rugby Union and Rugby 7s. The conversion is not awarded 20 meters from the goal line but everywhere on the perpendicular line through the spot of try.
It's roughly at the 22, though it can be further away or closer than the 22. I often use the term 'the twenty' as that's what everyone calls the 22 on average.
The three forces of rugby are sitting in peace and silence.
It looks to me that the rule about who kicks the restart after the score differs among the three codes but no one can be bothered to explain.
I believe it only differs in Sevens.
And Australians also make their 7-men rule, the AFLX.
Wrong sport. That's Aussie Rules, not Rugby.
I mean 14 minutes is so fast. Why not playing 30
It's so that they can fit an entire tournament in a day.
