I knew very little about rugby before Rio in 2016 but it was obvious how dominant this team and became even more obvious as I watched and learned how the game was played

[@nobodyknowsima1530]

Why

[@philemonkaisa925]

@@nobodyknowsima1530 because they are naturally gifted. Their built and stamina cannot be match. And they're fast and agile. Rugby 7s belongs to them

[@zaynes5094]

@@philemonkaisa925 True. I just wish USA could not choke so much and could just get past the quarterfinals once in a while. Haven’t medaled in a major championship or Olympic since 2007. Luckily we domination in gymnastics, swimming, basketball and track. I like the women’s 7s and love watching NZ except for when the US had to play them in the quarters every Olympic run. I think US rugby is coming back big time due to all the speed and youth on our side (especially for the women).

[@scrumpymanjack]

Much as I love rugby, the sport has no place in the Olympic Games. Nor does tennis or football for that matter. Just silly.

[@kaiuluitova6369]

Rugby does need that world stage for exposure Bring in more fans and more coverage/viewers worldwide and what better platform is the Olympics as it is watched by millions
