I've played a bit of sevens before, and as a front rower (in union), it's horrible!

I'd probably pick a bigger centre instead of Tait, Chris Bridge probably, as Yeaman's passing isn't good enough and have Ellis in the squad instead of Wilkin.

I wouldn't be surprised if the RFU asked a few RL players to play in the Olympic Sevens to be honest.

If they did the RFL should tell them to get stuffed,as Catalancs says they would probably miss a whole month of the season to play some daft novelty game called sevens which is dire IMO.

RFU has already picked a sevens side who are in training for the olympics.

If they played then they would, but for some players it would be worth it. I doubt our clubs would allow this to happen, but as I say, it wouldn't surprise me if the RFU made a few enquiries.

For the money? Has union really become so base?

It was a joke then - or as it's now known, the Clarkson defence. That it even crossed his mind, let alone that he thought to say it out loud in the dressing room after such a defeat says a lot about his motivations behind playing for his country.
