7 is a limited sport for a limited subset of players. I couldn't care less how popular it gets, it's not real rugby.

it's a limitless sport with a limitless number of players because of the physical restrictions of pro 15s and there is a cross/over in skills for some...a young oz team won the tokyo 7s recently a few only 18 and the coach said he finds it hard to hold the players as the super 15 teams want to sign them,alan quinlan, tony ward etc said we should consider it
