[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 718751, member: 43400"] Yep, the lure of the Olympics has certainly spiked the player number in many countries, and the World Sevens circuit promotes the game in these countries. Over the last few years we have started to see many of the traditional weaker teams, compete and sometimes beat the stronger ones. Sevens and the Sevens series is definitely driving increased popularity and team strength in the fifteens game in those countries too. In summary, World Rugby definitely see Sevens as the best way to grow the game globally (and rightly so), so long live the sevens circuit. ... back on topic, I am sorry to see the tournament shift from Scotland to France - as it's already been pointed out, Scotland is the birth place of Sevens, so it's similar to if they decided to give the Hong Kong leg to someone else, in my opinion [/QUOTE]
