That's just ridiculous. Why not simply have the sevens at Parc des Princes, arguably the spritual home of French Rugby anyway.

because it's already reserved for the Football tournaments

 

tbh, they could use the smaller stadium used by the Paris club team in their domestic league, Top 14 (which was the original plan, but it looks that they had too many tickets requests and decided to move the Sevens tournaments to the biggest stadium available)

They need 6 days for the rugby tournaments, so that slots in nicely at Stade de France before the athletics competition begins, especially since unlike pretty much any other Olympics, they're not using the stadium for the opening ceremony.  The football tournament is spread out over the length of the Olympics, so they put that at Parc des Princes.  I can't speak to French rugby, but I know they had the World Cup at Stade de France, so if they can get the big crowds there for the Olympics, it makes a lot of sense to have rugby there

Give that man more awards.
