Pulling Together

Well for once things did not go the way the President of the United States of America would have liked. The 2016 Olympic Games will be held in Rio De Janerio, fantastic! What a wonderful place to showcase the fast flowing game of Rugby 7's.
We are predicting that the IOC will confirm 7's as an Olympic Sport and as such the game of Rugby will get a much needed boost in Sweden. If the members of the Board take advantage of the opportunities that this will bring, then Rugby as a whole will be the winner. Obviously, next year the Women's  15's World Cup will be to the fore, with the National Squad having qualified to compete in it, ( there cannot be enough praise given to the players and all the coaching and management staff who helped to achieve this unique feat in Swedish Rugby history). However, every effort should be made to glean as much publicity from it, as is possible. We have every confidence that the Men's National Squads,will start to move forward, although qualification for the World Cups may be a bit too far off at the moment. Allied with the progress that the developing squads are making, there appears to be a bright future for the game in Sweden. So, a united front from all Clubs and supporters of this wonderful game can only be of benefit. Come on, let's cut out all the destructive criticism then others will see that we are all pulling together.
