The 2015 USA Sevens Rugby Tournament will take over the city for three days from Feb. 13 to 15 at the Sam Boyd Stadium.
Fans can check out this variation on traditional rugby which features two seven-player teams battling in 14-minute matches.
During the tournament, 16 of the top international rugby “sevens” teams play 45 matches over three days in an attempt to gain points in the 2014-2015 HSBC Sevens World Series standings.
