Alternatives to Seven jeans?

Male, not wanting to shell out $200 for another pair of Seven's, seeks lower-priced alternative to their Standard cut. So, a friend introduced me to higher-end designer jeans. Seven's standard (straight leg) cut fits me perfectly (so she says; my wife agrees). I now have $400 worth of jeans in two pairs, which is probably more than I've ever spent on all the jeans I've purchased to date.

I know that, in some cases, you're paying for the better fit, but are there any lower-priced alternatives to Sevens in "Standard" cut (not A-pocket or any of the others) out there for men that have similar fit characteristics (not too baggy, lower rise, etc.) that folks could recommend based on actually having owned, seen, or worn a pair (as opposed to having googled for the answer)?

I want you to help make me vomit! So, summer is upon us and that means two things: grilling and rugby sevens. I play rugby through out the year, but sevens is a bit of a different beast and as such I need to move a lot faster than I do now. I already do the lifting and cardio parts on my own, but I am looking to throw in high intensity interval training (HIIT) to develop greater speed and endurance.

I need help figuring out some good programs though, as most information I have found online can be summarized as "Run fast for a little bit, then jog for a little bit, repeat." I have some criteria though:

*I want to do this on my feet, no bikes or rowers or other such machines.
*It shouldn't use any equipment.
*It can be performed on a stretch of road or a field. I don't have track access.
*It has to be intense. At the end of most lifting or cardio workouts, I want to vomit. I want this to be the same, if not even more intense.

So, there you go. Be creative, I'm looking forward to some interesting workouts!
