[vimpe22]

Sevens specific variations
Law 5 Time
Finals should last no longer than seven minutes each half (rationale is player welfare – the evidence shows that a disproportionate number of injuries take place in the second half of finals. Injuries per minute are higher in the second half of finals as opposed to the first half and throughout normal matches of seven minutes each way.)

Can extra time be played in a sevens during the knock out stage I.E Q Final up .

What if it is under 19 . Does it differ from adult rugby .

the 7 minutes applies only to normal time. If extra time is required due to a draw in the knockout stages, an extra 2 minutes is played each way - golden point
