We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

It's one of the most popular sports in the world, it sums up everything that's great about sport and about the olympics, and it would greatly increase the popularity of the Olympics

Unlike some other sports which have made it into the Olympics, rugby promotes sportsmanship and respect among players and fans. It is an exciting sport to watch and adding it to the olympic calendar would encourage more children to play. And everyone wants a chance to take the title back from the Americans.

Because it's a great sport and entertaining to watch even to those who havent watched rugby before

Every Sunday when I'm freezing on the touch line I watch 100's of kids getting fresh air and exercise - putting this in the Olympics will encourage more teams, and go some way to improve the nations health

Rugby sevens is in my opinion, one of the most entertaining sports to watch and can be played by many countries around the world so why not in the olympics?

Brilliant, exciting, respectable game

It's the most entertaining sport

Because it's sweet

Besides the fact that it the best game in the world, I believe the players and supporters signify what the olympics are about. Friendly, fair and want to be watching the best athletes win.

Rugby 7s is very entertaining and can accomodate many different countries and styles.

Because it's a sport, and there are plenty of other sports represented at the olympic games already...such as hockey (very dull) so why not introduce some more exciting sports!

Great team even which bring out great feats of stamina, strength and willpower.

WHY NOT RUBGY THEY HAVE EVERYTHING OTHER SPORT SO WHY NOT HAVE THE BEST!!!

'Cos its awesome!

The Olymoics will gain a sport followed by millions, and the be played to a packed house in the first week when the track and field stadium would normally be empty.

There is no other sport in the world that captures such passion and pride as rugby. it would be a merit to the olympics!

It has already been! If pistol shooting is a sport and in the Olympics, Rugby should definitely be in!

Because it is the best team sport in the world

Rugby is at the heart of Pierre De Coubertin's original aims.

It gives an oppurtunity for the smaller nations to really compete for the major medals. It is also a great spectacle and is guranteed big crowds.

Requires skill and fittness, gives countries like Kenya and Fiji a chance to win medals.

It's fun and exciting.

It's an amazing sport and it's great to watch!

because it is fast and entertaining

Olympics to be truly representative has to include rugby union as a sport

because of the sheer variety of countrys playing the sport and the easyness of being able to play the sport. Also with countrys like Germany and the Cook islands it shows an extra demand for the sport

Because its a great sport loads of fun and brings many people together

The Olympic spirit is meant to ensure everyone has a place to compete...why not every sport?

Its a fantastically entertaining game.

Because it is a dynamic and mesmorising game which people of all age and backgrounds can enjoy.

BECAUSE IT IS FAR BETTER TO WATCH THAN A LOT OF THE OTHER SPORTS

Rugby is a great example of a team sport the players demonstratall the key atributes of true athletes

It's exhilirating. The quality of rugby on the international stage is fantastic and a joy to watch. It's a sport that should be big all over the world and Olympic coverage would do wonders for the sport and even more people would enjoy it everywhere. It will also be another opportunity for world international rugby to grace our screens. Who wouldn't want that?

If games like softball, baseball and daft sports like only the americans play are in it, its an insult to the game of rugby that it isn't in the Olympics

Its one big family

Rugby 7's is ideal for the Olympics because as in the Commonwealth Games it can make use of the Olympic Stadium for both male and female tournaments before the start of athletics with little disruption. Adding significant streams of revenue and excitment to the viability of the Games.

why not it's a great sport?

Just look at the excitement ca

Its dynamic, the crowds are always electric and the spirit between the two sets of supporters is unrivaled.

Entertaining, fast skillful game, a bit more exciting than archery!

yes

rugby is one of the best ball sports around is a very athletic/mind sport! Very good fun to watch also!!

The sevens game is a perfect for the Olympic Arena! Fast, Exciting, Crowd pleasing and completely involving
