[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1050651, member: 65365"] I dont agree that regions are achieving that goal. Looking at the olympics as a whole, samoa’s exclusion from this event makes a big difference to how included they are in the olympics as a whole. Even not looking at the olympics as a whole, why should there be two asian teams rather than two pacific island teams in the sevens? Nor do i believe its the rationale behind it, i believe the rationale is money - having a diverse audience. Believe is a strong word, im just speculating here. Why not have a gdp based qualifier instead, for instance, as an inclusion objective? [/QUOTE]
