It's not another brick in the wall, but Ben Ryan believes the best way forward for England as far as the Olympic factor is concerned would be to introduce the game into schools.
If Pink Floyd's classic protest song railed against rigid schooling, then Ryan's suggestion might strike a chord with the authorities, and will help England build a large reservoir of talent all hopeful of one day playing sevens in the Olympics.
'Sevens now has an opportunity to leave a real legacy in each country and for me it's starting in the schools system,' England sevens coach Ryan wrote in a guest column to the IRB.
'We should try to get a sevens programme there, particularly in the 90 per cent of the schools that are state schools and where rugby isn't the staple diet.
'If we can hit the state school market and tap some of these talents that are perhaps going to other sports and give them the Olympic opportunity in Sevens then we are going to be in big business,' Ryan said.
He said Olympic inclusion would have a huge impact on both forms of the games and believed the abbreviated version could become as important as the established 15s game.
