We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Making it an Olympic sport will let rugby be a true global sport for all nations.

It is a great team sport

It is the greatest sport to support

because it's the fairest and most exciting game. The only thing I regret is that I didn't discover the game until I was 40 years old. But still playing and enjoying.

That's The Sport

Rugby has all the Olympci qualities and aspirations as part of it's soul. Many of the lower ranked Rugby Nations excel at the Sevens game. Olympic status would offer these countries a world stage. I would enjoy it too.

because it is the best sport in the world

Its one of the best spectator sports displaying athletic ability.

Rugby uses physical and espcially mental skills that many other team sports do not. The player must be able to assess any and all situations and make snap decisions while working harmoniously with the team. I think this type of sport should be recognized in the Olympics.

Why not?

Because it's the best sport in the world! Because it's fair like Olimpics

because it is a very athletic and exting game and will bring lots of great and thrilling moments to the Olympics!

becouse it is a great sport.

Bet sport in the world

Because lots of countries playing seven and its males and females game

It's genuinely international, fast and entertaining.

Because rugby could get the opportunity to introduce itself to a broader audience, i.e. in Germany where rugby is not very popular.

Rugby is a well-established game that draws huge crowds for international events. It is a good test of athleticism and team spirit and totally in keeping with Olympic ethios.

probably the best game in the world !!

el rugby es un deporte que además de lo estríctamente deportivo y los beneficios a nivel físico que proporciona, me ha dado amigos y me dió valores que me han acompañando toda la vida

Because it's the most honorable sport on the globe and most of all carries out respect and high moral standard! Beside that it's great to watch any rugbygame

Passion, fairness, flair!! Rugby is like the 100m sprint!! Exceptionnel!!
