"The only major rule change from rugby union regarding events on the field is that conversions must be drop goals." says the article as of 1/8/05. "Change" should be "difference", but more imdid u know that sevens is the best they should have more womens games tho!!!!portantly, someone needs to check this fact. I'm not competent to rule, but if the IRB has adopted the Hong Kong rule of conversions by drop only, then maybe they've also adopted the Hong Kong rule wherein the team that scores kicks off. -- robgood@bestweb.net
Entries re the significance of the cup, bowl, plate etc in a rugby sevens tournament would be helpful.
In the IRB World Sevens Series - The Cup final is for 1st and 2nd places, the Plate for 3rd and 4th places, the Bowl for 5th and 6th places, and if there is a Shield - For 7th and 8th places.

Someone should start an article about Rugby 10s. It is widely played in Southeast Asia. It blends the fast-pace of sevens and organizations of 15s. I'm poor in writing so I leave it to all who are good at it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.95.10.159 ( talk) 01:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
A new editor called RugbySevensGuru ( talk · contribs) has added a external link www.rugbysevensguru.com Your guide to playing, training and coaching sevens rugby, which looks as though it is link spam, given that the editor's chosen name matches the name of the web site. However, it might be a worthwhile site. If so, it can be added back by any editor who isn't connected with www.rugbysevensguru.com. - Pointillist ( talk) 13:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
I propose the Rugby sevens be moved to Rugby union sevens and that Rugby sevens be a disambiguation page for the sevens versions of both rugby union and rugby league. The term 'Rugby sevens' is ambiguous - it can refer to either sport. The article is predominantly rugby union orientated (with a token league section); I think this should be rectified. The change would:

It's not bias to use a name which is most recognised by users of the English language. I quote from Wikipedia's
naming conventions:
We, as "specialists" in the field of rugby league (in the loosest sense of the word) should not decide what the page name should be called. Most readers would recognise the page name's reference to rugby union, not league, and even if they didn't, they would be able to tell the difference by the clear distinctions made in the article's lead, and the tag in the header, as I said before.

There's a notice at the top of the article redirecting users to the rugby league format. The only thing you could say in support of a move is that recently there was a drive to have all "rugby" articles marked "rugby union" or "rugby league" for disambiguation purposes, like "football" was for "American football" and "association football", but the article in its current state is sufficiently marked for the unknowing reader.

I propose the section on 'Rugby League Sevens' be removed because it is totally irrelevant to this article on Rugby Sevens. Just as there is no need for a section on Rugby Sevens in the article on Rugby League Sevens (and in fact, there is no such section in the Rugby League section, as you would expect), there is no basis for information on Rugby League Sevens to be included in this article on Rugby Sevens. A link to the Rugby League Sevens article is clearly set out at the top of the this article for disambiguation purposes. No other encylcopedia would include a section on Rugby League Sevens in an article on the Rugby Sevens.-- Nepialegs ( talk) 03:56, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
The section on positions first lists 2 as a prop, 3 as the scrum-half, and 4 as the hooker. Then, in the very next line, lists the 2 as the hooker, 3 as a prop, and 4 as the scrum-half. I'm new to sevens, so I have no idea which one is right. Just wanted to leave a note so one of this page's editors can fix it. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.219.66.67 ( talk) 17:19, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
For those of us handicapped by not knowing about rugby, (either version), a little something about SCORING POINTS would sure be welcome. Like, how does one score points and how many and that sort of thing. If it is in this article, I sure don't see it. GeeBee60 ( talk) 15:45, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
I've added a line in the overview section detailing the scoring system and that it's the same as regular rugby union. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.232.206.152 ( talk) 19:58, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Second para "Rugby sevens pineapples originated in Melrose, Scotland in the 1880s" - is this correct or vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.165.92 ( talk) 18:31, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
