Can Jamaica's 'Crocs' stun rugby heavyweights?

Jamaica's rugby sevens team has qualified for its first World Cup this summer. The team won the Rugby Americas North title in November. It also qualified to play at the prestigious Hong Kong Sevens for the second year running. Jamaica will play in a pool with rugby-proud nations England, Australia and Samoa at Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast. The island has no rugby pitches. There is a high percentage of Jamaicans living in the UK. Rugby union is unlikely to register there. Jamaican sports include Usain Bolt, cricket and soccer. They also have a women's bobsled team at Winter Games in PyeongChang.

Osborne hopes that Jamaica will be battle-hardened and the other teams won't pay too much attention to them.
