Rugby league nines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rugby league nines is a version of rugby league played with 9 players on each side. The game is substantially the same as full rugby league, however scrums involve only three players per team, and all kicks at goal must be made by drop-kicks. Games normally last only 15 minutes (7.5 minutes each way).

Nines is usually used in "festivals", as it allows for a tournament to be completed in a day or over a single weekend.
