      This is a sport for athletes and gentlemen. As our coach loves to say, no other sport will offer the same level of hospitality, respect, and fraternity both on the field and off, world-wide. I'd say only soccer has more universal recognition and peak competition, but rugby players also have to hit as hard as they run. Reinstatement in the Olympics is far past due, would even be an homage to IOC founder Baron de Coubertin, so vote YES for Rugby 7's 2016!

      Rugby be should be Olympic because it is a sport played just like judo and all martial arts disciplines that are taken part in in the Olympics also is will give countries a chance to add another chance to get a medal on to their list of medals or it may be their only medal for them it also a sport a country could pick up and become good at so that is why rugby should be part of the Olympics

      Not only is rugby a historically important sport, but it is also extremely accessible to people from all socioeconomic backgrounds as it requires a minimal amount of equipment to play. In the interest of creating cosmopolitan unity, which is the inherent purpose of the Olympics it only makes sense to incorporate an internationally popular sport that demands the utmost of talent.
