[QUOTE="Erich, post: 512144, member: 61829"] [SIZE=3][FONT=times new roman]I know it's still four years away, but has SupeRugby said anything about modifying their schedule to accomodate players that might want to temporarilly switch from XVs to 7s in the Olympic years? Jonah Lomu played 7s in the Commonwealth games, and the Olympics are a lot more prestigious than that. How much time off did he take from his various XVs commitments to do that? In a sport like Rugby, in which such a high premium is placed on teamwork, it would seem to me that it would take a lot of practice time to adapt to not only a new team and a new code, but really a new sport. On another front, does anybody have any news on what's going to happen with the Southern Kings, and when? [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
