IRB targets Olympic sevens breakthrough - Rugby Union News - Telegraph: "The International Rugby Board have not yet given up on getting sevens included in the Olympics but in the murky world of International Olympic Committee politics their New Year's resolution in Dublin is to start 'boxing clever' and play the voting game much more effectively and not simply rely on the 'rights' of their case. To that end the IRB will soon take a leaf out of the successful London 2012 bid and appoint a professional lobbyist to target those countries - and those votes - that will be needed when the question next comes up for debate next year, when the schedule for the 2016 Games will be decided."
