    IRB's final bid for Olympic inclusion

    The president of the International Rugby Board (IRB), Bernard Lapasset, is leading the team presenting rugby Sevens' case for inclusion in the Olympic Games at the 121st International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session in Copenhagen this week.

    Rugby Sevens was recommended for inclusion by the IOC Executive Board in Berlin on 13 August this year.

    The team in Copenhagen will present this Friday to IOC Members and guests ahead of a vote by the full IOC membership with a straight majority required for inclusion in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

    ...

    PresidentLapasset will be joined by IRB Secretary General Mike Miller, former Argentina captain Agustín Pichot, Cheryl Soon, captain of the Australia team that won the Women's Rugby World Cup Sevens in 2009, Kenya Sevens captain Humphrey Kayange, Anastassiya Khamova, one of Kazakhstan's top female players and also an international referee, and New Zealand rugby legend Jonah Lomu.

    Jeez they carry on a bit don't they, anyone would think they are developing a world parliment or the like.
    Make a decision, stick to it and donate the ten million euro's you saved to a charity!
