The purpose of this study was to clarify effective tactics of attack on the sport of rugby sevens using notational analysis of game performance on the menʼs rugby sevens at Olympic games 2016. The main results of this study were as follows; 1) The rate of attack to the open-side and reverse-direction are higher. 2) To breakthrough the defence-line is more difficult than the gain-line. 3) In the number of passes before contact, the rate of breakthrough the defence-line unused pass were the lowest and the rate of unused pass in the Top6 teams was lower than the bottom6 teams and therefore the attack option using pass is effective. 4) In the attack options, the rate of breakthrough the defence-line under the overlap situation is the highest and therefore the attack option to carry the ball at vacant space is effective. 5) In the starting points in attack, the rate of breakthrough the defence-line in attack from turn-over and therefore turn-over is one of the effective starting points.
