[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 427309, member: 20956"] Well the majority of articles I've read on US Rugby have said that sevens is well on its way to eclipsing the full XVs game, party because of it's coming Olympic status. Been described as 'sexier' and just simply more appealing to the US public. It will definitely release more funds from the different counties's governments as they're always looking to fund sports that have an Olympic sticker slapped on it Will be interesting anyway to see if it helps teams that're traditionally minnows grow on the big stage, will also give smaller Olympic nations like the Pacific Isles a chance at a medal too. Will be interesting to see what kind of selection policy the bigger rugby nations take too, considering most use it as a way to blood young players, while others have teams of sevens specialists. Will we also see the stars of the main sport lured into the teams by the chance of an Olympic gold. [/QUOTE]
