(It's Fri-Sun, Mar 22, 23, 24.) Whether this is your first rodeo (it certainly ain’t ours) or you’re a veteran of the scene, you’re bound to find some useful information in our handy Rugby Sevens field guide. Read on:

Former Sevens Veteran Getting Too Old for this crap

Description: The FSVGTOFTC has been there, done that and bought the souvenir T-shirt. Now, with a couple of kids and a body that can no longer function on a two-day hangover, the poor guy just wants to watch some sport with his buddies.
Habitat: Hiding in the North Stand, nursing a single jug.
Behavior: Finds a comfortable seat, buys a tasty pie, and attempts to quietly watch some world-class rugby while a 40,000-person Romanorgy happens around him. Chump.
Call: “SIDDDOWNN!!!” *seethe*
