			<description><![CDATA[As a Kiwi I have to ask why is GPE calling this the "Rugby World 7s Championship"? Any rugby fan US or otherwise knows it isn't and knows the IRB won't sit idly by without protecting its investment in the Sevens World Series as the premier 7s rugby world champs. Great possible development for US rugby but GPE needs to tone down the hype and rhetoric. It will I'm sure attract some foreign players but I think the main players will be US national team plsyers, but I don't think we'll see huge superstars, particularly XVs players changing their European or Southern hemisphere teams for a 7s gig in the US. Secondly, are US rugby fans willing to put up the financial capital for their own team? If not, why should they get their own team? This venture won't be a charity. It will be a business, just like any other pro competition.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I very much wish for this project to succeed, but this is a very strange announcement. There is nothing in Google about Carol Alyssa Childress. Usually a wealthy individual whose "background includes music, engineering and investments in media assets and entertainment projects" would have some track record of media mentions or something. Is there any chance that this is all a hoax?]]></description>
