Rgby should be in the Olympics because players have to display so many skills on the field. Speed, strength, dexterity. It is also rare in the era of big-many, pressurised, professional team sports where each team homours the other when they come of the field. Win or lose, hard battle or not animosity is forgiven when the whistle blows. This sport and its magnificent players demonstrate the Olympic ideals game and game not just every 4 years.

Rugby sevens is an exciting game played by many countries in the world. It is an expression of pace power and skill in the form of a team game. Tournaments take 2 days to complete and with the peceived underdogs always having a big chance to cause an upset, and getting lots of neutral support because of it, there is excitement for the whole period

rugby is one of the fastest growing sports worldwide, with ever increasing numbers taking it up at all levels. with it being quite specialised, it suffers from not having a globl stage to promote itself, and the fantastic attributes it has, and the feelings it develops. the olympic stage would be the ideal stage to promote and further develop this sport.

Not only is it one of the most exciting sports around, especially in its shortened form, but it also breeds a culture that is similar to that of the Olympic movement, friendship, togetherness, unity, fun, etc. Include it!!!!

Rugby is one of the best team sports on the planet. At the top level of sevens you will see some of the most skillfull athletes at their peak.

It is a great sport that is physically & mentally challnging

a brilliant team game
