Rugby 7's features seven players per team playing on the same size pitch as a 15's match and offers non-stop action.

Viewers will be provided with insider access, including sound from the sidelines and coaches' halftime huddles. NBC Sports will also mic the referee, who is actively involved in directing traffic on the field. In addition to access, features on the history of rugby, Cal's rugby dominance, and inspirational Ohio State player Nate Ebner will air during weekend coverage.

In October of 2009, Rugby 7s was reinstated as an Olympic sport for 2016. It last appeared in the Olympics in 1924 with the United States winning the gold medal.
