We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

It is a great sport, entertaining, respected and has great people in the game and a great spirit. Why shouldnt it be in the olympics? It would als o encourage the game in more countries. I can't see why its not already in the Olympics!

it is not a clearly dominated sport even countries like Kenya and Portugal who in the eyes of th rugby world are not giants can compete and win

Rugby is a great team game that epitomises the true olympian spirit of sportsmanship and fair play between all nations.

It is one of the biggest sports in the world. That was shown at the 7's world cup.

more exciting and its a real sport, takes a lot of fitness and intensity its about time rugby was an olympic sport, it beats other sports like shooting or table tennis

Because its the best team sport in the world - friendly - family orientated - and just great

Eng v NZ final last week at the London 7's just illustrates the excitement that can be produced from the shortened version. My girlfriend doesn't understand the 15's game, but 7's allows non-rugby players to quickly grasp what's happening.

Because i believe rugby to be one on the most exciting,entertaining, challanging and demanding sports of recent times. I believe including this sport within the olypics will promote the postive profile of the game and will encourage youngster generations to participate in this very disciplined sport, which will inturn help identify potential future players for the Engalnd team.

Why not??? great game

BECAUSE ITS A SPORT LOVED BY LOADS SO WHY NOT!

Becuase it is the best sport in the world

Like every other event, its a sport.

Rugby has thus far avoided most of the polotics that other team sports get embroiled in.

becasue its a fast, entertanining and most of all it brings people together

Because it is a multinational sport.

with over 150 national unions and a global appeal Rugby 7's is perfect as an example of the olympic ideal. Individual skill and teamwork are joined to create an exciting spectacle. Additionally 7's lends itself to the tuornament format and given the result of the World Cup in March clearly is the most open competition on the planet....

Rugby is a sport of great talent,skill,determination and sportsmanship, and should be given recognition by the Olympic games. Moreover, the introduction of rugby to the Olympics would help the sport by adding to its rapidly increasing amount of fans and players. This woudl mean the foundation of many many more clubs not only in current rugby playing countries, but in countries where rugby isn't played currently

It's the most amazing sport in the world

Its a fantastic sport to watch with a huge amount of people playing as well as spectating.

Played by many, enjoyed by everyone

Its quick and exciting and brings together nations who would not normally be able to compete in the 15 man game.

rugby is mazing and would be a real boost for the country if we were to hold the olympic rugby here

as would add new prospects and different niche supporters to the olympics

Why not!!

its exciting and skillful

Great entertainment, make use of olympic stadium between opening ceremony and athletics.

It embodies the spirit of fair play and competion that the olympics stands for

Rugby is a beautiful and majour sport and should be included in the olympics..

Rugby is a team sport with a unique ethic and emphasis on friendship with opponents, something that goes hand in hand with the Olympic Spirit. It is played worldwide, with competitive 7s nations hailing from North and South America, Europe, Africa and Oceania. It is the dominant sport in the South Pacific, a region of the world that is usually a tiny presence in the Olympic Games. Also, unlike football, the Olympic 7s would be the highest representation of 7s over, and would actually mean something to the participants. Furthermore, it would help generate revenue and excitement from what is already a hugley entertaining and popular spectator sport.

It's one of the most physically demanding team sports. It's very entertaining for spectators. And most importantly for Sevens the olympics would easily become the pinnacle of the sport

Because it's so entertaining and is the best sport eva!!

It is one of the most widely played sports in the world, similar to fottball which is in the games

Rugby incoperates the meaning of teamwork, friendship and physical determination.

Great sport to watch, great day out, gives young people a chance to perform at highest level. used to be in olympics, fun fast paced game.

it is one of the few sports left that has remained largely untainted by money. It has all the ingredients for spectator sport without the disrespect that is shown the referees !!

Because Rugby is an amazing sport and should be promoted more to encourage more and more people to play, what better stage than the olympics, Furthermore rugby sevens is one of the most exciting forms of the game and it gives countries a chance to win a medal in the olympics that don't normally win

Sevens is both an exciting and entertaining game, whilst the full version doesn't have much competition outside of the top 10 nations at sevens there are hundreds of small nations who could be competitive in the sevens game in the olympics. Also the respect and brotherhood of rugby perfectly complements the Olympics ethos.

Will spread the game throughout the world. 7's works well in commonwealth games so why not

because it is a brilliant sport, 7s would be the best for the olympics because it is very demanding of your physica fitness and speed of thought.

Because it is exciting and thrilling to watch.

Rugby is the best spectator sport in the world, and sevens delivers an accessible and entertaining format suitable for the olympics.

Because the Olympics has GYMNASTICS, TABLE TENNIS, SYCRO SWIMMING, DIVING!! Dont make me laugh! Rugby is huge compared to those petit sports.
