We could not afford any of them. The RFU 7s is an ongoing circus that rolls around the world in the same way that the RedBull soapbox competition does. The players are specialists and few would get a look in even at 15 a side.
Thats not true, a lot of the players have teams they play for when not touring with 7s, though most are 7s specialists, Dan Norton for example plays in the 4th their of english rugby.
7s seems more suited to league than union tbh, I think even the top players are on around 100k so RL teams could get them if they really wanted
In fact some of the best in the Fiji team only get paid around £10,000 so if it is money they want, RL could easily sway them
