 Slippery footing does also come into play which makes everything more difficult to do!
 Depending on what we decide elsewhere about how to play the game, it could definitely make team selection more interesting if Coaches are given a weather forecast (eg 30% chance of rain, 10% chance it’s heavy) and have to weigh up their team selection with that in mind.

 Is that the sort of thing you had in mind?

 |Do we need to have conditional lineups such as:
 "only play this lineup if I'm in the 3rd match of the session and am in the championship match"
+|Possibly.  I think we can avoid with the right competition structures.

 |If we are using injuries, how will we handle that during a session?  If injured in match 1 of a session can I play in match 2 (depending on endurance/fit level)?  Should we have a depth chart for each team/position so we know who has to come in?  Should we make an injury an "off for the rest of this match; but can play the next match at a lower starting endurance/fit level"?
+|Rugby players tend not to go off injured unless there’s something really serious like a broken leg.  Injury perhaps just reduces endurance or fitness?

 How much of a factor is weather in Rugby 7s.  I watched one match where USA v Argentina played and it seemed like there was a slight impact (slippery footing for example).  I know it impacts American football at times.  Is it a factor in this game and if so do we want to deal with it in any way?
+|The main effect of rain in 7s is to make the ball slippery, which means more dropped passes.  To counter this, teams will run the ball more and pass less. They will also be more prepared to kick the ball more often, on the basis that a defender is more likely to drop a ball kicked high in the air, giving them a scrum further up the pitch.
