Caribbean nations can qualify and do well in Olympic Rugby 7s says Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) president Larry Romany.

According to Romany Caribbean successes in Olympic track and field are clear signs that the Caribbean possess the natural talent that if harnessed can do well at rugby 7s.

"The challenge is providing the Caribbean with the access and assistance that will help them go the next level in rugby 7s"

The IRB is seeking to have Rugby 7s included on the Olympic programme beginning in 2016.

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic chief is anticipating at least two Caribbean Rugby 7 teams qualifying for to the 2010 Commonwealth and 2011 Pan Am Games
