Quote ="Phil O'Stein"Everytime I've watched Sevens there seems to be little emphasis on kicking and a lot of priority on ball running and possession rather than territory. I actually find it the one derivative of yawnion that I can watch as there's only the occasional line-out and little in the way of kicking.
I think I once read that Super 13s is the halfway house between 7s and Union. Never watched it myself as it's only contested by Teams from Oz, NZ and SA, so far as I understand.
Edit: it's super 15s, apparently.'"
Though it was Super 14's and that was the amount of teams in the league? Its still Union. Its their Rugby Union Competition.
They tried doing it in this country with the tops teams from the 4 home nations competing in a kind of "champions league" competition. All countries were up for it except for.... You guessed t England. They wanted a bigger share of TV money and the like. England stuck with their own league and the others formed the gaelic league to compete against each other.
I think we are seeing the benefits of this higher level of competition for the other home nations teams with their improvements this year.
