Rugby sevens is like the 15-man game on fast forward.
Seven-minute halves may mean 14-minute games but with just seven on each side to cover a full-sized rugby field, this extra space, more often than not, leads to extra points on the board.
With slick moves from smooth hands, lightning speed, and fancy footwork, sevens players can weave in and out of traffic in a bid to run cricket scores up in no time.
Since the dawn of the international series in 1999-2000, a litany of speedy superstars have tried their hand at the seven-man game, with the cream of the crop prone to crossing the chalk at will during their yearly whistlestop tours of the globe.
Pooled from four different continents, here are the top rugby sevens try scorers from every season since 1999.
