[QUOTE="sigesige00, post: 851984, member: 42159"] In the World Sevens (Men's), 15 core teams play all 10 tournaments and 1 non-core team is invited to every tournament. In my opinion, there should be Barbarian 7s and they should play as a non-core team at Hong Kong. Since there are qualifiers for promotion to core teams at Hong Kong, 12 teams who play qualifiers cannot play as a non-core team. So non-core teams at Hong Kong are naturally too weak. This season the non-core team at Hong Kong was the ROK (Republic of Korea). Their results: Pool A: 0-52 England 0-52 Australia 12-22 Samoa Challenge QF 0-43 Russia 13th Place SF 7-36 Japan They did not have enough quality to play as a non-core team. As long as qualifiers are played at Hong Kong, this is natural. So I want a change. How about Barbarian 7s at Hong Kong as the non-core team? It would be fascinating. There should be Baa-Baas in not only 15s but also 7s. And, before the Hong Kong round, non-core team can play only 1 tournament. After the Hong Kong round, promoted team play all remaining rounds. What do you think about this change? [/QUOTE]
