The average incidence of injury in rugby sevens is 249.27 for 1000hours of play against 102.25 for 1000hours of rugby union matches. Conclusion This epidemiological review of injuries among the rugby sevens refers to their location and their nature, the causes, the position of players, the type of field, as well as the downtime of practice following trauma.
