South Africa and Argentina tangle in rugby sevens at the World Games

Rugby sevens was introduced as a World Games sport for men at the 2001 World Games in Akita. No women's rugby has been played at the World Games.

The 2013 World Games was the last to feature the sport, with rugby sevens becoming a full Olympic event in 2016.
