Now admittedly it requires bit of work on your part but rest assured you are playing a key role in the development of the sport - Olympic status will open up a whole new world (and funding) for the sport - hence the concerted effort to mobilise the masses. Rugby 7s is vying for one of a maximum of two spots in the Olympics with squash, baseball, softball, karate, golf and roller sports. However the IOC are under no obligation to choose any so the level of support each can point to is extremely important. A final presentation to the IOC executive will take place in June before the October vote in Copenhagen. The IRB is giving it the hard-sell including the slick promotional video below that is charged with emotion and big names. Check it out before doing your bit by clicking here Comments
