ahahahahahaha fuck.

I have no idea how accurate any of this is but it's the first result of a google search:

Kiama still going strong I believe. Arguably the pinnacle for amateur 7s in Aus currently but I think it's only attended by NSW based clubs (could be wrong, can't find a team list)

I feel if there was value in it we would already be doing it. As far as I am aware - only England has a semi-pro national 7s program but I don't know how connected it is to the RFU. Purely from an entertainment perspective I don't see it working. The short form version it seems people don't...

Yeah we'll get a bit of attention for the olympics but sadly I think Strewth is right. 7s as a series is too infrequent and global to garner and big interest outside of the rusted on rugby fans.

And also - what does it matter? FWIW; live sport tends to do very well against GenEnt content regularly anyway and it wasn't competing with anything particularly exciting in a primetime spot where you see TV audiences typically peak for the day

There are only like 4 countries that could host this. This will be what the commonwealth games is to the olympics.

Wooooooooah boy, easy now

They operate completely separate from each other.

Nice deflection. That may be so, but this one isn't and you just assumed it was. The central point of all of this being do a tiny amount of research and critical thinking before getting mad at false premises.

I'd guess it would be incredibly difficult to roll out a successful development program into rugby clubs who's playing stock could be so volatile (especially in those teenage years) - and those standout players like your Jake Gordons would probably make it through the system anyway - provided...

No I get that but to his question, Where else?

Going to public/ state schools are (mostly) free and don't require an additional time commitment I suppose, unlike clubs. I'd question whether we are actually missing out on signing or developing players who have genuine capacity to turn pro - just because they don't go to a rugby/private...

Devils advocate - is this actually a problem? From all accounts private schools do a pretty damn good job of developing footballers for both codes (it's just shit so many then go to jail rugby). But assuming it is a problem, this will take a generation of investment to overcome. I appreciate...

Yeah I don't know either but if they did, then they have to market it and add more content that's worth paying for

This is getting into "Old man yells at cloud" territory. Why do people get angry at stuff before they do any research into it? Its the week before finals, maybe not the most opportune time to have a bye round.

Broadcast negs on at the moment. Remains to be seen. Interesting to read that Ch7 are putting their hat in the ring. Unsure what that offering would look like though with no paywalled streaming service. Might be a little hybrid deal like with the Cricket (7 + Fox/Kayo)

I don't know what to tell ya man, maybe open the Rx app and try figure this out for yourself. Answer is probably fairly obvious if you just look. Point is, not everything is Rugby Australia's fault or mismanagement.

Sounds like a good time to me!
