[QUOTE="Moseleyexile, post: 1096737, member: 86032"] Also (and possibly related) Rugby Europe and the European Olympic Committee have agreed to have Sevens at the European Games from 2023. I guess all the big European nations (inc the new GB teams) will be sending teams for qualification (or a least a warm up) for Paris 2024. This is a press release from the European Olympic Website (from early July): (Sorry can't post a link as the system isn't letting me) It does look like (international) Sevens is going be dominated by the Olympic cycles so merging the teams is probably a sensible decision (and possibly necessary given what has happened on the Women's side). It should also allow the two teams to base their sponsorship deals on their Olympic results (which so far have been pretty good considering the issues they've had in the two buildups). [/QUOTE]
