[QUOTE="Al Bangor, post: 981056, member: 78048"] Hi Dave, as a fellow American I agree, it's Rugby Union over here. [I]7s is a variant of Union,[/I] and I enjoy it equally to 15s. And the USA National squad is MUCH better at 7s than they are at 15s. League exists here, but it's not very popular. I watched a replay of a League match on YouTube, but didn't like it near as much as Union. I'm not knocking League, to each his own. And ESPN+ is my main source of Rugby here in the States. They stream PRO14, SupeRugby and Major League Rugby matches as well as HSBC 7s series and college rugby. NBC Sports Gold has Premiership and some International matches, but they charge a [U]lot[/U] more for their streaming package. [COLOR=#ff0000]-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/COLOR] [B]Rugby sevens[/B] (commonly known as simply [B]sevens[/B]), and originally known as [B]seven[/B]-a-side [B]rugby[/B], is a variant of [B]rugby[/B] union in which teams are made up of [B]seven[/B] players playing [B]seven[/B] minute halves, instead of the usual 15 players playing 40 minute halves.
