As the New Zealand sevens side limps back into town after picking up the dreaded silver medal at the Commonwealth Games, thoughts now turn to Rio de Janeiro. Rugby writer Steve Hepburn picks five players who could well make a difference in Brazil in two years.
Love him or hate him - and plenty are in the latter category - SBW and his set of skills will be vital for a sevens squad. He can find gaps for himself and others that not many other players can. Plus, the big Rooster has the ball-handling skills which can make the difference in sevens.
He is also a player who appears to lift for the big occasion, and nothing comes bigger than the Olympic stage.
Hopefully, he does not wander into the boxing by accident and suddenly get the gloves on.
One look at the Cuban national team should put that idea to bed.
His name is not bandied about much in sevens, but how can the world player of the year not be there?
His ability to roam wide in the larger version of the game seems to be ideally suited to sevens.
Those pop passes, fierce defence and great lines would combine to make a great sevens player.
The only question mark would be whether his body would be up to that level in two years.
And whether the All Blacks would let him go.
The way the New Zealand sevens team plays the game these days, a big bruiser is much needed.
Gordon Tietjens' teams have one style - taking route one and muscling the opposition out of the way.
So, who would be the best option for this? The best power winger in the country, Julian Savea.
Savea is continuing to improve and is a guy who is virtually unstoppable close to the tryline.
That is one asset you really need in the shorter version of the game.
Might be a few doubts over whether he can last the distance in sevens but a few sessions with Tietjens will have him sorted out.
Sevens is all about finding the space.
Manipulating the ball so you can get some mismatches and break the line.
Actually, the larger version of the game is like that, too.
And is anyone better in the country at doing that than the man from Green Island, one Ben Smith?
Smith's vision on the rugby field is hard to beat and he takes the gap, or makes the gap, whenever it comes along.
Played every minute of the sevens final in 2010 and is likely to be just as significantly involved in Rio.
The Tongan Thor exploded on to the scene earlier this season with an amazing three-try haul for his Sacred Heart side.
Massive, with tree trunk legs and speed to burn.
Became an instant hit and has backed it up with other eye-catching performances against other school sides.
He may not have a New Zealand passport or residence but a few quick back-handers to those Olympic members and that will be quickly forgotten. Unfortunately, could be 180kg in 2016.
