Carlin Isles is not DK Metcalf or Tyreek Hill or Derrick Henry.
If it's all they do for 12 months, gee i would love to see it.
Of course i wouldn't, because 7s pays what some of those guys make in
a weekan hour.Fixed.
I reckon you'd need to recruit about 50 guys from those positions, and use your 12 months to get them up to speed.
Some guys aren't going to stand up mentally to the change, and some aren't physically going to enjoy 5-7 minutes of flat out exertion.
Once the passing is taken care of - which I think is the biggest hurdle - I reckon the rest of it is piss-easy for 7s.
I played state level (Iowa) in the US during my college days.
Compared with the American lads I played with - many of whom had been great High School football players who couldn't break in to collegiate level - I was as slow as molasses.
But it didn't stop me breaking the line by sidestepping them with my eyebrows.

Amazing to wake up to so many 7's experts (especially ones who hardly even watch 15's) and outstanding levels of ignorance, this is the fern!
USA should get some ace basketball players to take out all the volleyball comps and a bunch of ace boxers to take out all the martial arts sports. It'd only take 12 months to get up to speed to be better than the best in the world.

Disgusting late and high head shot from Fiji on the try scorer there, should've been a red
Or at the least, a penalty at restart

FT scores:
Fiji 26 - 12 Canada
France 40 - 5 BrazilNext:
Australia v China.
Should be an easy win for the Aussies.I thought China's structures and execution were pretty good against USA. We will see who gets most of the ball.

Good work off the ball by the other player cutting back, too.
