7&7s



"Was that a score?"

"No, that was a try."

"But they got points?"

"Right. He got a try."

"He tried to score?"

"He scored points on a try."

"Well that's nice. You know...that they give points for trying."

That conversation didn't really happen, but I'm trying to illustrate the point that rugby is confusing. And by rugby rules, I get points for trying. :)

Two Sundays ago, we caught 14 matches during the second day of the USA Sevens tournament and I'm still not entirely sure how it's played. All I know is that it's fast (at least the 7s variation of rugby is), it's brutal and the USA Eagles unfairly lost to the Argencheatas. Still a fun time.
