We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

It's a sport - why not Rugby then??

..because 7s is like watching a 100m/200m/400m all into one at the same time,a perfect fit for the Olympics.

Because it is has been a widely played game in a majority of countries.

Rugby is so underrated as a sport. If people could see how great of a sport it is, I believe people would fall in love. I also think it would give countries who aren't always up for winning a gold medal a chance at it. There are so many rugby fans in the world. This would be great for them as well.

it is a mans game....

Its popular and world wide with a great following and fan base WORLD WIDE!!

The most watched team game ever.

Rugby 7's is a GREAT spectator sport and the short matches are perfect for the Olympics.

A very entertaining game and there is a chance my team can win a gold medal, and will show the world where my tiny island is in the South Pacific.

great spectator sport

Best game in the world. After soccer.

it is truly a global sport!

I beleive rugby is a fast growing international sport. The 2007 Rugby World Cup showed the growth and interest of the International community in the sport. It's very entertaining to watch in both the 15 and 7's codes and from the time the sport turned professional the standard of the game has, from year to year, increased tremendously. With rugby added to the Olympic Games it paves the way for countries that rarely feature in the Olympic Games (like Samoa, Tonga, Fiji) the opportunity to win a medal and consistently be a part of the worlds greatest sporting event.

It is as an everybody sport. Regardless of race, gender, or financial status of a country, any country can participate.

hello it is a sport isn't it-BIG TIME!!!!

MY country has never won an olympic medal..this will be the perfect chance

It will Liven up the sports and also rugby is a sports competition.

7s rugby, as a sport, represents everything the Olympics is about - teamwork, dedication, sacrifice, commitment and pure love for the game played in heaven

its the best sporting game ever plus its played by every country in the world so i cant see why not.....!!!

Because it is the second largest sport in the world...World cup brings so many people together and brings so many nations and people as one. Hell man do we even need an excuse to add it..One of the greatest games of all times !!!

Because it is the best sport in the world

It will give a chance for the pacific island countries to be recognized in Olympic taking into consideration of the limitied resources available for other sports.

Give us smaller countries a chance at a medal!

its a gentlements sport and i highly recommended in the Oplympic Games

Realistic opportunity for small countries like Fiji to win an Olympic medal And rugby sevens is an exciting fast sport that would be popular for Olympic spectators and TV viewers

Rugby is one of the coolest and interesting games ever. it should be played in the olympics since it is a sport and in the olympics everyone comes there to show off their talents and represents their country in a particular sports their are playing. For example, i come from a very small island in the Pacific( Fiji), we have people who say they can run, but if they come to run, in the Olympics, they can't beat the "Americans or Jamaicans" because every one in fiji loves to play rugby and our rugby team is the best. if our rugby team will come and play in the olympics they will beat the other team,because we have the rugby talents and spirits in fiji. Rugby will put our small island where the Big countries are...

rugby for the masses...

Because it's the best game ever!

Rugby IS Olympic

Sevens rugby is high octane and just what the Olympics needs to appeal to another market of viewers!

It is the most entertaining form of rugby in the world

Because now days rugby is major sports and most of the people love it..

Rugby is the ultimate team sport; It is a very entertaining and extremely competitive sport; THe game has grown and the traditional hierarchy of the sevens world is being threatened by teams like Kenya, Wales, Scotland,USA;

just need to see how much this sport is seen LIVE on TV

To show the world the exiting game of 7's

Some smaller nations can be recognised worldwide who can be competitive against the big names .

It is a widely played sports and enjoyable to watch.

I believe and know that 7s Rugby would be ideal as an Olympic sport. The abbreviated game is not only suited to the Olympics, its ability to enable any country (from the richest and most powerful to the poorest) to compete in it and win is very posible. Not to mention the entertainment level of the game!

It's a world wide played sports! It is played in dry weather, when rainy and during the winter. Play it in the olympics you will get more money from the gate taking as their is a great following to rugby!

The Olympic Games bring people together every 4 years.But Rugby brings people together every 6 months or yearly when teams go on tours.New friends are found every time there is an international match.

Only game played in heaven

Exciting game to watch, and surely will pull in so many people to spectate during the olympic games.

Never has there been a more exciting game than Rugby

It's an exciting sport

Becoz it is more entertaining than other sports.

Simply put,inclusiveness!!

Because only through Rugby will we small countries have a chance of getting Gold at the Olympics

Rugby is global, good and exciting

Rugby is watched worldwide especially sevens. It is also a growing sport.

It is the Sport that will add more life and excitement to the Olympics!

It allows smaller nations like my country to have a fighting chance to win a medal at the Games.

Why not? water polo is, so why can't the 3rd most popular sporting event be in the olympics? Its a great spectator sport, fast, exciting and strategic game - much better than soccer.

east,west,north,south ..globally Rugby rocks...uniting people in cheer ,peace, love n happiness

Because its a good competitive sport, and a very interesting one too, which needs to be in the olympic's due to its high exposure

It is a sport that is very much a part of our very existence. I would love to see the sport competed in the Olympics.

Its played in all continents and draws a big audience

Because this is our national sport and its one on the most attractive sports in today's world and we in the islands are left out in the Olympics due to rugby so give us an opportunity to play what we are best at.

Rugby is one of the physical and fast action games in the world today. Therefore, strong people with high stamina and displine are need which is a perfect contribution in Olympic games discipline.

The only Sport in the world where pacific islanders can use their raw God given talent to win a gold medal.

Its pure entertaining played by super fit players..
