Rugby Sevens

rugby sevens: Hoping to put on a good show when rugby sevens debuts in the 2016 Games, the Brazilian federation has announced that it will go hunting for players abroad, looking for anyone with at least some experience in the game and a Brazilian link that would allow them to represent the country, according to Times Colonist. Brazil has very little tradition in the sport and has never achieved significant results in top international competitions, but both the men's and women's national teams automatically qualify for the 2016 Games as hosts and SAO PAULO - Brazil is sending a message to everyone who plays rugby out there: You want to participate in the Rio Olympics? Come talk to us! The federation this weekend is launching a worldwide campaign entitled "Brazilian Rugby Players Wanted" to spread the word, hoping to find at least a handful of players who can help turn the national team into a more competitive squad by the time the Olympics arrive.
