What is Rugby 7s?
Rugby 7s is a smaller scale version of rugby union in which teams of seven play for 14 minutes (seven minutes each half) and, as per usual, try to score as many points as possible through try’s, conversions, and penalties. Much of the rules are the same as rugby 15’s except there are no rolling mauls and scrums are made up of three forwards as opposed to eight.
7s is currently the only form of rugby played in the Olympic Games, having been added for the Rio Olympics in 2016.
The league table for this year’s series is being dominated by New Zealand, with Argentina and Fiji close behind. At the moment Britain are in 10th for the men’s team, but anything could happen at the London tournament.

When and where are the London Rugby 7s 2023?
The London Rugby 7s takes place over two days in May at the home of English rugby, Twickenham Stadium. Here’s the full details of the event:
- 20th – 21st May 2023 – Twickenham Stadium, London
The first day is the Group Stages day where 16 teams play three matches each in pools of four, the second day is Finals Day, which will see all the teams compete again in quarter and semi finals until one member is declared the tournament champion. This year, the rules have changed so that the lowest six teams will go into a relegation battle to avoid actually being kicked out of the series itself. Plus, because London is the last stop in the World 7s circuit, the series champion will be announced alongside the tournament champion.
In 2022 the event attracted over 72,000 fans across the weekend, and featured music from the likes of Sigma and Mistajam in the Fan Village, as well as a ton of food stalls. This year, the day kicks off at 9am and attendees can expect a full day of food, drink, and rugby hijinks.
What is the theme of the London Rugby 7s 2023?
You better grab your platforms and rehearse some fancy footwork, because the theme of this year’s tournament is disco.
Every year the London 7’s becomes a spectacle of vivid outfits and group fancy dress, with previous themes including sci-fi and safari. Costumes aren’t compulsory but they are a big part of the spirit of the day.
Plus, after the final whistle England Rugby always organise an afterparty, which will be held this year at The Clapham Grand. With performers, immersive acts and a ton of party bangers, you can party the night away until 3pm, and, best of all, you can buy tickets right here.
