Emirates Airline London Rugby SevensHead down to the home of English rugby this May as Twickenham opens its doors to some of the world's finest rugby talent from 16 international teams for the Emirates Airline London Sevens. The two-day tournament is a great chance to experience a sport whose popularity is growing fast. Sevens is quicker and higher-scoring than Union or League rugby (think Twenty20 cricket) and the rules are far simpler, which explains part of its appeal. It also gives players the space for superb feats of individual skill, with the athletic Samoan, Fijian and New Zealand teams particularly prone to spectacular showboating. The current holders are England, who beat the All Blacks in extra time in a nail-biting final in front of a 35,000+ crowd last year. Each game is just 14 minutes long, so a day ticket provides a lot of action (there are 44 games in all over the course of a weekend of 12+ hours of free-flowing action). Plus there are plenty of well-timed breaks so you can hit the bar for some liquid refreshment and soak up some of the extra entertainment. It's also much cheaper than the 15-a-side version, which is a bonus in these tricky times. What's more, there's a distinctive carnival atmosphere with spectators often sporting a superb array of comedy fancy dress outfits - this year spectators on Sunday are being urged to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Gathering of Superheroes' - which currently stands at just 1,016!  For more details on the tournament check out www.rfu.com/londonsevens or visit the official Facebook page.

COMPETITION: LondonTown has teamed up with the RFU to offer one lucky reader a pair of weekend tickets to the Emirates Airline London Sevens. Just answer the following question:

Which team won the 2009 Emirates Airline London Sevens?
a) New Zealand
b) South Africa
c) England

Email your answer with 'Rugby Sevens' in the subject header by midday on Monday 10th May to competitions@londontown.com for your chance to go to Twickenham. The first out of the hat wins - good luck!

 

About Twickenham Stadium

The home of English rugby at Twickenham is England's second largest stadium (after Wembley Stadium), with steeply banked stands that create an impressive roar when an international match is in progress. While rugby remains very much a second-choice sport in the rest of southern England, the stadium has had a profound effect on the whole surrounding area: Twickenham is the only part of London where the pubs will show rugby matches in preference to football, and where you're far more likely to hear Swing Low, Sweet Chariot than any football club songs.
