[QUOTE="Boggle, post: 211339"] well my gosh, they have air rifle shooting for goodnes sake, they really should get 7s in there at some point. I already saw an add by the IRB about making 7s an olympic sport (I posted about it in the other thread about 7's in the Olympics). I should stress though, 7s and -only- 7s would work in the Olympics, obviously because of the amount of games played but also because it's just shorter and tends to be much less violent then 15s. obviously when trying to promote the game to world on the biggest stage on earth you want to be putting your best foot forward, plus 7s combines that which a lot of olympic sports do, running very fast, it's a ball game, wrestling (tackling or the ruck area), it -should- prove very popular.
