We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

It's a fantatsic team sport, requiring great strength, stamina and discipline - I think it would make a great addition to the Olympics and sport more generally.

It is a world class sport that millions of people are passionate about.

It is more exciting than football. Rugby 7's is also fantastic to watch. Rugby is a game that has good sportsmanship. The players call the ref Sir! How respectful is that! This is the type of game we need to promote the good of sport, and not the money side of it.

Because it is a good sport

it is awsome and deserves some recognition

Great spectatator sport. If fringe sports can be included then why not one of our national games

Rugby is a fantstic spectator sport!

Huge following, exciting, high impact, fast moving game. Perfect for a spectator sport and easy to pick up

In the past it was one of the longest standing sports played by amateurs.

It is a great spectator sport, with alot of skill and flair...

Fast buzz exciting new to many countries who will just love it.

What other sport encompasses the Olympic ideals so well?

Great fast paced game for all. Will give minor nations a real chance of winning a Gold medal. Will fill the Olympic stadium with supporters for 2 day when other wise it would be empty the week before the athletics starts

One of the only sports that get completely different people together and unites them on the same team with the same goals and objectives

becuase its an amazing sport

because it is a sport that has traditional, passion and fair qualities which is what the olympics is all about

It would be shorter games there for fast and exciteing, showing more skill in the backs making it flow and skillfull
