Marketing, sadly, will not be entering a team this year at the NABS 7s this year despite heroic efforts in 2008.
While 7s aficionados will see Marketing’s decision not to enter as devaluing the cup (also see Manchester United and the FA Cup 1999) plenty of teams are returning to the action in 2009.
Rumour has it that Austin Healey is turning out for Sky, which is an odd one given his work for the BBC. But we’ll see on Sunday if rugby’s ‘old big head’ turns up and who he'll be playing for.
Sky has previously fielded British & Irish Lions centre Will Greenwood, which was taking things all a little bit too seriously, so the appearance of another legend of the game is not impossible.
Last year, saw Tequila/London win the tournament by beating DDB London in the final – the two meet this year in the group stages.
Anyway, it’s all for a good cause so come on down to the Richmond Rugby Club where games will be kicking off from 10am.
