Interesting. If this works France could be gold medal favourites

It won't work if they play no tournaments with the team beforehand. 

Yeah Union players need some experience with Sevens or else they will be ran circles around. Raw talent can only go so far.

France was a decent outsider (if Fiji were not Fiji) beforehand. The team is building up nicely and I wouldn't be surprised to see them win a stage this season.

I don't really buy the "put 15-a-side players in the mix with light preparation", more harmful than anything. And Penaud despite his qualities is too much of a liability defensively, can work with 14 partners, not with 6.

Wow!

So what do we think here? Dupont to carry the French flag or even light the Olympic cauldron?

1. Impossible as the 7s tournament starts just before the opening ceremony and goes on after.

2. Impossible as we're not rotten enough (yet) to offer the flag to a "non-olympian" (same applies for Mbappé or Wembanyama :sick:)

    • Also it being illegal in France means the IOC will have to test everyone pre arriving at 2030 and can’t wait till they arrive at the Games to do so. I’m sure at 2028 for some sports testing will happen on site if it’s not a rule of its governing body for non Olympic events. So far only a few sports like Athletics and Boxing have that rule - I suspect others will adopt it but others might take time. 
    • https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cpwj78lxypro ‘In France - one of a number of countries where genetic testing is illegal without a medical prescription due to privacy laws - the government has condemned the decision as "a step backwards". "It defines the female sex without taking into account the biological specificities of intersex individuals, whose sexual characteristics present natural variations, leading to a reductive and potentially stigmatising approach," ⁠claimed French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari.”   ‘A group of legal experts in human rights and sports have since expressed, external"urgent concern" about what they called "the regressive move toward genetic testing as a precondition of participation in women's sport" which they say "violate domestic and international laws that protect human rights and regulate the use of genetic testing and genetic information".  The group has called on athletes "to challenge the national or regional implementation of mandatory genetic sex testing, demanded by the IOC or international federations, before domestic courts, by invoking national or regional laws protecting human rights, prohibiting anti-discrimination, and regulating the use of genetic testing and genetic data".’   Domestic laws are more challenging for the IOC to deal with than CAS. Things could get complicated for a bit. 
    • Except NOC’s and governing bodies have to still follow local laws. Particularly for Under 18’s there could certainly be domestic legal issues regarding associations paying for travel to other counties to circumvent a domestic ban. Child protection services don’t always act reasonable to attempts to break a domestic law.
