We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

beacause it is a great sport like any other so let rugby supporters support their country as dey fight and strive for victory in the olymics

Rugby is the ultimate team sport with a worldwide following and it meets the qualifications for Olympic inclusion better than any of the other contending sports

Rhythmic Gymnastics is in the olymics and rugby isn't, seriously?... need I say more?

it's a dam gr8 sport for real people

It is a great team sport that displays strength, speed and technique. 7's is a fast paced version of rugby that will definitely be a crowd pleaser.

because it is a sport that just should be

If badminton is considered a sport, so should rugby. It takes a high degree of athleticism and perseverance, like any other Olympic sport

Because it played world-wide at both the amateur and professional level

Becasue this is a chess game played on grass with fifteen people!!

ES UN VERDADERO DEPORTE DE HOMBRES Y MUJERES

Rugby is passion, rugby is family, rugby is the union of all the senses, feelings, rugby is what any other sport should be about

...because rugby is a world game and deserves to be played in the largest global stage of competitive sports.

It's a really good sport and should get more recognition

Most mentally and physically challenging sport in the world. The winner would truely be worthy of Olympic Gold and everything it stands for.

Its the only sport where all the anger, all the disappointment and all the rude behavior stays on the field. Rugby is a friends game-not enemy vs enemy.

Not only for those who love the game, but for those who don't know it. So that there would be an appreciation of the great sport that is rugby. Also because of the not only the hard hitting,adrenaline bumping excitement, but the comradry of the game

Why shouldn't Rugby become Olympic event. It was there before and we need to get it back there. It's getting REALLY popular and it's about time.

it will be a great event for all rugby nations. there are a lot of rugby nations and they should all participate to find the Olympic champions.

best sport of the world

Best team game in the world.

Great game which everyone can watch.

hugely entertaining and skillfull game

Because rugby is the best sport!

It's a phenomenal game and having the shorter, faster pace sevens version of it in the Olympics will certainly create a lot of interest. Further if one looks at the Petition Map, the most active countries are some that are not necessarily seen as the traditional "powerhouses" of the game, yet there is still immense interest shown from them!

porque representa a miles de personas en el mundo y es el mejor espectaculo deportivo

Rugby is way more competitive than half the sports that the games already offer. It is very entertaining even if you don't play the sport, Rugby also has some of the best athletes in the world.

It is one of the few international sports with a moral background, highly competetive, fast, and very entertaining

Rugby is more then a game, its a way of life for many, and it certainly can teach some great life lessons to many other. Rugby will definately get more people interested into the Olympics as a whole, and thats what rugby does. It makes everybody winners, in one way or the other. Thanx. MJ Warne

because, deserve it, the second sport in the world (according attendance)
