IRB 7's Qualifications to be Set
According to the International Rugby Board (IRB), the decision by the International Olympic Committee to include Rugby Sevens in the Olympic Games, beginning in Rio in 2016, has provided an enormous boost for rugby sevens and planning is under way by the IRB on the required qualification process for international teams.
This forms part of a major overhaul of the existing IRB Sevens Strategic Plan, a collaborative process with all Unions including Bermuda that will outline the blueprint for the further growth of the Game around the world in recognition of Rugby 7s Olympic profile.
The Strategic Plan will allow the Game to grow in new markets and ensure that all 117 IRB Member Unions can collaborate with their respective National Olympic Committees and have access to a structured development, tournament and qualifying pathway that optimizes the effects of inclusion in the Olympic Programme.
