Sadly it&#039;s 7s that&#039;s the Olympic sport and it&#039;s 7s that the government is giving money to so might as well try and get the strongest program we possibly can. I wonder if we&#039;ll see an influx of players in the ERU and CRU this upcoming season. If players want to get into rugby and play 7s they should definitely be looking for clubs soon. Also congrats on Canada playing well above my expectations and winning the Bowl in South Africa. I definitely didn&#039;t see that coming. I mean they should never have blown the game against France which would have sent them to the better rounds but a trophy is a trophy and it&#039;s better than another Shield. I do love that they beat Kenya for a third time in a row to win another trophy. Hopefully we get our injured guys back and can at least challenge for the Plate in Wellington. Still, sitting 12th in the rankings with a pitiful 14 points is not what I was expecting this year. With 6 stops left there&#039;s still time to turn it around for a respectable finish. Finishing 4th in the standings was never going to happen but Canada really needs to come together to beat a real tough American squad to get the NA spot in the 2016 Olympics and avoid the repechage playoff.</blockquote>
