Rugby 7's
Rugby 7s is a fast-paced version of traditional rugby that's played with seven players on each side, instead of the usual fifteen. Each match is just seven minutes per half, meaning speed, agility and strategy take center stage. We are incredibly lucky to have former Black Fern Eloise Blackwell coaching our Epsom 7's side. With just one school team, selection is highly competitive!
Our Rugby 7's side doesn't compete in a regular round-robin season competition but instead enters into specific tournaments in order to qualify for the Term 4 New Zealand Secondary School Nationals.
