There was only one red card at the 2009 Middlesex Sevens. Wayne Barnes, the All Blacks’ favourite referee, showed no mercy to a young lady who had decided to run the length of the pitch.

That she was wearing no top didn’t prevent the young English referee sending her to an early bath.

I was there at the Sevens as a guest of the Samurai International team, who eventually lost in the final to London Irish. The Irish fielded their best international team. Sevens will be getting bigger in the next few years because it is only one step away from the 2016 Olympics and there are rumours that it might make an appearance as a demonstration sport in the London Olympics.

Some exciting news coming from Better Rugby Coaching in the very near future.
