<p>The game was nationally televised and I watched it. Dartmouth crushed West Point. It wasn't particularly close. What was more surprising was getting to watch Dartmouth sports on TV; we don't get much of that here on the west coast.</p>

<p>In an interview before the game, the coach of the national team said they would be considering some of the Dartmouth guys for the Olympic team. After a long hiatus, rugby is returning as an Olympic sport.</p>

<p>Yeeee…my friend plays rugby for my school and wants to go to Dartmouth. After seeing this, though, I’m a little doubtful of his chances.</p>

<p>^^Hey, whether it’s 7s or 15s, a national championship is a national championship. Rowers compete in both 4s and 8s, and when a team wins the 4s competition in the Olympics they still get gold medals.</p>
