1924; the booming 20s were well under way. St Petersburg, Russia had its named changed to Leningrad, a US presidential address was aired on the radio for the first time and the first 'thanksgiving' parade in New York took place. 1924 and the 20s in general were times of firsts, World War I was behind people and the world looked forward to a prosperous future. Well with the beauty of hindsight we can see that 1924 also was a 'last' for something. 1924, 2 generations ago was the last time that Rugby took part in the Olympics.

Many professional and semi professional rugby players know all to well how it feels to be out of action, or even worse having to give their career up, due to injuries sustained from playing rugby. One such player is Steve Thompson who sustained many bangs to the head then came one bang to many.

After an unsuccessful bid for entry into the 2012 games, Rugby is at the forefront of applicants for entry into the 2016 games. For the International Rugby Board the application process is nearly over, they have presented their case and decision now firmly rests in the hands of the IOC and its members.

This will allow the loose trio a chance to get front foot ball and Pierre Spies and Juan Smith need to get over the advantage line to get the backs going. Against the British and Irish Lions, this didn't happen and the Springboks couldn't gain any real momentum.

With quality ball it will allow Fourie du Preez and Ruan Pienaar to weave their magic and get this backline going. The midfield pairing of Jean de Villiers and Jacque Fourie will be able to combat anything the All Blacks throw at them, and their solidity in crashing the ball up will allow space for Bryan Habana and JP Pietersen on the flanks. The Springboks showed in the second test against the Lions at Loftus, a willingness to try and get Bryan Habana running onto the ball and I am sure they will persist with that strategy once they have solid runners in the midfield.

Mr Lapasset hits on a very strong point, none of the above sides have a realistic chance of medalling if the 15s game was the chosen sport and in many cases other team sports but Rugby Sevens. With only 14 minutes, 7 men and whole lot of running, passing, hitting and did I mention running, all of these nations have a chance of taking home a medal for their country
