[QUOTE="CoachInTexas, post: 620383, member: 70983"] Within USA Rugby, and maybe other organizations, I have a theory that they are more interested in how you LOOK as a referee sometimes, than how you perform. I know a lot of really good referees that have gotten passed over for promotion to the next panel because they are a little older or are grey-beards, in favor of younger, fitter, way less talented referees. But you are right - 7s refereeing isn't really that well regarded, I think. Hell, I don't really like 7s rugby that much either - I really wish 15s had been chosen for the Olympics instead, so it would be getting the upgraded attention 7s is getting these days. [/QUOTE]
