[QUOTE="ruggabee, post: 628480, member: 70704"] It's pretty useful for producing outside backs and flankers. Many top standard ABs have benefited from the sevens set up ie. fitness, speed, ball handling, link play/support. They're forced a lot more to strengthen those areas of their game in sevens. I wish I could remember who it was but there was an AB who was asked how sevens was beneficial and it was something along those lines. A lot of emphasis on fitness I remember that much. Then again, I haven't really seen any other country convert sevens players to the XVs game to the same effect. But that in itself could be a clue as to why the ABs are so attack minded and pull it off so well with their forwards being equally adept with ball in hand. [/QUOTE]
