Sevens, especially in a tournament format, can be great entertainment and looks fun to play but I can't get myself interested in the full blown game.
Do you play Merc?

Ya, play in Old Boys Division a few times per year, and Ref full time now. Started playing in 1978. I played Sevens every year when I was actively playing, it was and is usually used for players to stay in shape during the off season.
