[QUOTE="poobrain, post: 134093"] Years ago it used to be the equivalent of the FA Cup for rugby 7's. Clubs in the first 2 or 3 divisions (I think?) used to have to qualify to get to the finals and then they'd add in a few invitational sides - some international minnows and some completely random. The day followed a knock-out format and was really fun. I guess the game turning pro was the first nail in the coffin, the second nail was the introduction of the international 7's circuit. And of course they moved it from April/May, but IMO that was a good thing. I'm going again this year, but only because I got tickets two for the price of one, meaning a day out at HQ is £15. I can think of worse ways to spend the day, unless the weather gives up... in which case i just won't turn up. [/QUOTE]
