See the World Through Rugby Sevens

Emil Signes was kind enough to write an article for the 2012 Surfside Sevens Program.

When I first played 7s, in 1969, I thought it was an odd game, especially for slow people like me. When I first coached it, in 1977, it was a great way to spend a summer day out, and when my team won its first-ever major tournament (the 1978 Ontario Sevens), I knew a good sevens day could produce quite a rush.

In 1986, I was appointed coach to the US National Men’s Sevens Team. The first international sevens trip I took — Hong Kong and Australia — was the longest and most exotic trip of my rugby life to date, but — as I was to find out later — I hadn’t seen nothin’ yet.

It was a long time ago in a place on the other side of the world. My first thought about what you might say is, "Come on, really?" I say that to myself all the time, but it really did happen. And, as a pretty good rugby player in my day, I made a point of striving for perfection every time I played. So much so that unfortunately I seem to remember all the times I was -not so- perfect.

William Webb Ellis

An ol' pal and teammate Jim Fraivillig sent an email today to my coach George Betzler. The email announced the 200th birthday of the famed William Webb Ellis.
