This is why so many of us north of the border were hostile to UK wide football and rugby teams at the Olympics, because it creates precedent and opens the door to Scotland losing its historic position as an independent sporting entity. Hopefully the prospect of liquidating the spiritual home of Sevens rugby from the international scene gets the shortest of shrifts. Worrying that someone in a position of authority in world rugby can air this view and a real "told you so" for the SRU for not vetoing / abstaining from UK wide team involvement at the Olympics.
