Sevens scrums?

Question

can anyone tell me what is the point of scrums in rugby sevens! it looks like a free-for-all. wouldnt a league style scrum be better?

Answer 1

a method of restarting the game.

it is similar to a league scrum, although occasionally in 7's teams will contest the put in and turn the ball over.

Answer 2

It is the same laws as a 15 a side game and the law states that you must start agame after a knock on or forawrd pass witha scrum

Answer 3

the 3 forwards on each team lock heads and try to get the ball on to their side where on of the backs on their team picks it up and starts off their play

Answer 4

there is still some competition on it even if it looks like there is not... few days ago our team scored a stolen scrum try on a seven!!
