Up the Guts

A few areas: less focus on the set piece; greatly reduced competition at the breakdown in 7s (rarely more than one defensive player in the ruck) and it is often play the ball like; kicking basically only tactical, no territorial back and forth kicking duels like 15s; emphasis on keeping the ball alive, players will often run from side to side looking for an overlap; often space around the ruck, in League through the middle of the field when the props are tired and struggle to get square at marker and in 7s when the opposition is gassed or they just don't have the number to get there. I could probably name more but those are the ones that spring to mind atm.What are the similarities between league and sevens as you see?
I don't think our Women's 7s side is weakened by having players running around in NRLW. In fact, the competition looks to be quite good and they may well be better for it.
