Former Fiji Airways Men’s 7s coach Gareth Baber believes sevens is like the non-stop movement of ‘full-court basketball’, or the ‘tiki-taka football’ made famous by the all-conquering Barcelona team.

He says sometimes you can’t take a breath when you watch a great sevens game.

Baber made these comments while speaking to World Rugby ahead of the Vancouver 7s on Saturday in Canada.
