We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Great entertaining game, and still played at a more amateur level unlike football and tennis. 7's should be the game.

Rugby will provide full stadiums and 7 a side is easy to follow and can be very competetive for smaller nations

Because it is such a good spectator sport and has a worldwide following

It has as has much right to bet their as any other sport

Sevens is a superb athletic sport which can easily be fitted into an Olympic fortnight. Twickenham could host it in 2012 as it does the London and Middlesex Sevens.

It's the best game to watch live, the supporters are the best!

Rugby is the greatest sport on the planet.

Because we are good and the boys make us proud.

to promote youth rugby and encourage good disciplin within sport.

Soccer, Tennis, why not!

Why not its a great sport just like any other Olympic event

It's a global sport!

football is so why not rubgy?

True sporting ethos, open to all. A truly great game.

It would generate more interest in grass roots rugby as well as generating large crowds for the olympics

It has everything you need in sport, pace, power, vision and guile. It is an ideal game for all shapes and sizes.

Simply because, it is better than football.

Rugby is a great sport to watch and play.

It was an Olympic sport and should be returned to the schedule even if only as Seven a side

it's a grass roots game that should be given the platform of the olympics

Rugby should be Olympic because it is one of the best examples of the Olympic motto, "Swifter, Higher, Stronger", that you can find, showcasing an increasingly popular sport that is one of the most entertaining and enjoyable team events, for men and women of all ages, in the world.

More competitive than many of the existing olympic sports

It is now one the very few team, ball games that is not represented!!

At least 10's or 7's rugby if not 15's should be played at the olympics...

Rugby should be included in the Olympics because it is a worldwide sport,increasing participation numbers has led to a highly entertaining spectator sport.increasing participation numbers has demontrated it's potential for growth and its wide appeal ans tv coverage encourages people to participate at all levels.

The finest, most exciting sport in the world should be included. as the Olympics is for non-professionals, it would also be a chance for the less-established rugby nations to show their talents and attract grass-roots players.

It is a global sport that has shown it can break down barriers between any kind of divide which is essentially what the olympics is all about.

Rugby involves all shapes and sizes, more people are playing and enjoying the game than ever before and in more countries every week. The playing and the social side of Rugby is keeping the world's youth off the streets and developing their social and community strengths.

It is a spectacle. If anyone had seen the Twickenham round of the World 7's they would have been impressed.

Its one of the most entertaing games to watch

It's the best game in the world

it includes everyone and is a sport all can play
