'It's great rugby sevens is Olympic sport'

Having done so well at the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Dubai in March and reaching the final, how have you managed to keep the momentum going ahead of the start of this season?

Cora: Expectations are very high because of the existing structures in the Argentine Rugby Union. This year will see some new faces but the momentum is good.

How do you rate Argentina's chances at this year's Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens?

Our initial goal has to be to reach the Cup quarterfinals. It will be a tough start to the season in Dubai in a difficult pool. But we have to ensure new players gain experience.

Who are some of the players to look out for the Argentina team?

Martín Núñez Lasalle is a centre/wing who can break defences.

What are your thoughts on the Emirates' purpose-built The Sevens venue in Dubai?

The playing surface is very good and the stands comfortable. The big rest area for the players is also superb.

How about rugby sevens being included in the Olympic programme?

Huge happiness! Something that had to happen as rugby sevens fits every one of the prerequisites of the IOC. As an introduction of rugby to the rest of the world, it is great.

Who do you think are the favourites for the title in Dubai this year?

South Africa are a very solid bet.

As top try-scorer in the IRB Sevens World Series, to what do you attribute your success?

I was always part of very good teams. Also hard work and focusing on sevens.
