We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

cos it used to be! why not?

If stuff such as table tennis and synchronised diving can be considered Olympic Sports, then Rugby should definitely be in!

Why not?

Rugby Sevens would add an exciting element to the Olympics. It can be held over one weekend, even smaller countries have a real shot at the medal. And it would be good to promote the sport and get more people interested!

Its a truly world sport, with a huge list of nations that participate in a form of rugby.

Its a sport played and enjoyed by millions all over the world which is what the Olympics is all about.

si

There iss'nt a sport as amateur as rugby in this country today. The Olympics include many pro athletes that don't show half the spirit amateurs have.

i think rugbyshould be an olympic sport because it is a very fun and good sport

It is a competative sport like any other sport where players represent their country

It is fast exciting and will be the most watch live sport at the Olypics other that Athletics.

It is a global team sport!

It's a truly global sport and it's the one game that does not discrimate on body shape or size. As a Welsh poet once said "rugby is for those who can shift pianos as well as those who can play them"

Played by many nations and great spectical

7's rugby should be an Olympic sport as winning a Gold medal would be the pinnacle of the sport.

Because as a team sport, you can compete for the ball at any time within the rules, and it really is the greatest game on Earth.

It is a world sport

The game is played in heaven for god's sake.Surely that's enough reason to make it an Olympic Sport!

Rugby is an international sport with representation from Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and Australasia. A 10's format would provide entertaining high scoring games and deserves a chance in the Olympics.

The Olympics is all about bringing countries together and so does rugby. Rugby is a truly global game.
