LA Sevens Rugby

Spent last weekend in LA watching the IRB sevens tournament. Sevens is a type of rugby that is fast, pure athleticism, and a lot of fun to watch. If you've ever wondered why people would put themselves through the agony that is rugby, just watch sevens.
Sevens is named because only 7 players are out on the field for each team (normally it's 15 a side). The game is played on a regular field ("pitch"- 100 meters by 70 meters) so the amount of space (and thus, sprinting to get into space) is outrageous. Each half is only 7 minutes long, so the pace is fast and furious: sprint hit, sprint hit, etc.
The tournament will air on Fox Sports World (AKA the Soccer Channel) on Sat., Feb. 19, at 5 p.m. ET.
Check it out, oh and for the ladies- added incentive: you get to see the New Zealand players take off their shirts for the traditional Haka- Yummy!
