American speedster and Rugby Sevens star Carlin Isles has committed himself to rugby, by claiming the game has 'been a blessing' to him.
As reported here last week, Isles, who headlined the 2012-2013 IRB Sevens World Series had flirted with the NFL by signing for the Detroit Lions practice squad.
But it now appears the former track-star has had a change of heart and is now keen to repay the game that gave him his opportunity and continue to grow the game further. He feels he can really move the sport forward.
Isles also admitted to the New Zealand Herald, his relief at finally being comfortable to be a "true a rugby player". I think everyone within the rugby world will be pretty happy by Isles decision with the exception of maybe some of his sevens opponents ... he's very fast.
