Are there any differences between 7s and full side rugby?

Question

other than the number of players

Answer 1

same rules apply

Answer 2

Matches are shorter, 7 or 10 mins, (normally 7, finals longer) each way.

Players who get receive yellow cards spend 2 mins in sin bin insted of 10.

Referees give far less time to play the ball in rucks and mauls, to encourage quicker play.

Drop kicks only, no place kicks at goal.

There used to be a rule where the team scoring kicked off rather than the conceeding team but I can remember if they still use it.

Answer 3

Pretty much what he said plus the fact that scrums involve a prop, a hooker, and a prop on each side. There is also 1 pod in 7's for the lineouts.
