The Rugby Europe website crashed, probably due to capacity issues for hosting the live feed of Olympic qualifier. At least this shows high interest!

Hey FloSports please start over with your tech. From scratch. Don't use a single line of code from your previous experiment. On top of terrible stream quality, why are you trying to charge me for a new subscription when I am trying to activate a Fire TV app?

Just amazed by the aggression, function, and fitness of the USA Rugby women's 7s team! Congratulations on winning the first stop of @WorldRugby7s, and in a resilient and confident route through Rugby Canada, @AllBlacks7s, and Australia Sevens!

Lynda Rodgerson World Rugby @WorldRugby7s 100% agree, I'm all for equality but not at the expense of both the men's & women's game, especially in an Olympic year. It's also a double blow for those fighting relegation. Don't get to compete for world series points & the tournament group draws will be stacked against them

When World Rugby - with a perfect product: the World Rugby7s - makes decisions that affect the very nature of the game sans the role-players that makes it this successful product, one has to wonder why and ask questions. Don’t drop the ball @WorldRugby blitzbokke.com/2019/12/28/don…

In the new @WorldRugby7s format, the draw has too much influence on the outcome... A lack of a 1/4 final limits any teams in a “pool of death” from beating the 1 seeds in another pool. Decreases teams ability to improve and statistically decreases competition. @TheRugbyCorner

This may be applicable to explain some of the decrease in rugby participation. Rugby is tackling the problem head-on by introduction of laws that prevent tackling the head, but..... forbes.com/sites/rogerpie…

Really decent crowd at 1030am for the first top 14 IN EXTENSO SUPERSEVENS Rugby in Paris. Looks like supporters really bought into it and some great players out there too

A huge kick in the teeth to aspiring nations. Got their wish of including Japan even though we were assured qualification wasn’t complete, but to relegate no one smacks of a closed shop. Not even an invitational place available to hint at the development they’re “committed to”.
