[QUOTE="Beerfalo, post: 675330, member: 71326"] Lumsden training with Canada 7s was just a publicity stunt, or at least I hope it was despite adoring Lumsden. He's in his early 30's and his body would not hold up anymore, it barely held up during his Football career. Though it could be good publicity as Lumsden is a popular/well known name amongst Canadian Football fans and Rugby Canada is looking for cross over athletes. Lumsden endorsing rugby could make some players consider giving 7s, and maybe 15s, a go. Especially with it being an Olympic sport now and the Canadian government "pumping" money into Olympic sports. I do wish Rugby Canada had got a hold of Lumsden when he was in his teens. I think he would have made an awesome Loose Forward. [/QUOTE]
