Rugby Sevens' inclusion into the Olympic Games has led to a global spike in the sport's popularity.
On the other hand, it's led to speculations that the classic 15-a-side game might lose its luster as countries shift their focus to Sevens.
Sevens, which places more emphasis speed and skill than strength, is believed to be a path to triggering interest in the sport as a whole.
