I Am Feeling Olympic

So Rugby Sevens is an Olympic sport eh? But its not the first time Rugby has been played at the Olympics. Without googling it, who is the reigning Olympic Rugby Gold Medallist?

I'm not sure Netballs answer to Sevens and 20-20 Cricket will survive but glad we beat the Aussies!

Given the location and nationalistic fervor of the poser of the question, I will go out on a limb and answer: New Zealand.

I can't confirm the answer yet EdBob...but I will say this: it wasn't New Zealand.

If only the population base and sporting excellence of the US could be focused on rugby instead of a sport that no one else plays!
