I think the pattern going forward is going to be guys more like Toole where possible - early development time in the 7s and a return for the Olympics. That sets them up to make the most impact on return without needing a massive lead in.One thing it made me think was the top 15s guys can still dominate 7s when selected. Won't be all of them but the ones with appropriate skill sets can show up and be better than the regular 7s players. Marky couldn't be taken down by the first defender when he ran it. Toole looked threatening every time and Dupont is a video game character.
Could Aus look to release a few others post 2027 WC for the 2028 LA Olympics.
Likely still some exceptions though - I wouldn't be surprised if there was an Olympics carrot to Sua'ali'i's control for example.
