We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

ugby is one of the most exciting sports in the world and is one of the few games where supporters from both sides mingle and socialise. Surly this sort of comradship, peace respect and enjoyment through helathy compettion is exactly the ideals that the olympic represent.

It's the best sport in the world and for many countries who don't play any other sports such as Fiji and Tonga it gives them a chance to win a medal

It will bring a whole new group of people to watching the Olympics

Because it is an exciting game for players and spectators, and the olympics presents an opportunity for other traditionally non-rugby playing nations to take part. The 7's international competitions show that the game isn't dominated by a single country.

It's a fantastic team sport and deserves Olympic sport status without a shadow of a doubt.

It is a competitive sport, which is enjoyable and would be suitable for the olympics.

Speed, Excitement, competitive spirit and ability for all countries to participate.

Because it embodies the principles of the olympic games. Because its 3 day tournament format suits the Olympic games. Because the 7s game is growing all over the world, even in countries where the 15 man game struggles. 7's is a true world game.

It is so much fun!

tis exciting like!

played by male and female athletes of all shapes and sizes. No other game reflects the ethos of fair play and respect which is enshrined in Olympic spirit.

Because rugby is a great sport and its tragic its not in the olympics.

Because it is tactical sport!

It embodies the values of the olympics, determination, skill, physicality, hard work and most importantly, it is a sport that has suck a social side. All fans sit together and share a great occaision. Also, I would take a greater interest in the olympics if this was included.

One of the world's great team sports and a balance between strength and skill

It's a sport and it's just as relevant as soccer or basketball.

It has global appeal and many smaller nations have a better chance of medals at the games because of it.Plus it's Rugby!

Its exciting and a real team sport

Cos it's a great game and it encapsulates the Olympic ideal of friendship through sport.

It's Fucking Aye. Fuck Yeah

Because it`s better than most sports in the olypic programme.

It's the greatest sport on earth

Great sport, true athletes

Coz curling & badminton are!!!!!!

Great sport!

The IRB 7s series is a ideal example of how well the game is from both a spectator and player view. An absolute must for the Games.

because real men play rugby!!!

Because it's a sport which welcomes and encourages people of all shapes and sizes. It is a sport which cradles the true spirit of the olympics

It is the most honest field sport in the world.

Rugby should be an olympic team becouse it supports friendlyness sportsmanship fun and friendly rivelreness.

It is one of the fastest and most exciting sports in the world.

Because its an international sport. Sychronised swimming is not!!!

Tag rubgy is the fastest growing game. The more exposure rugby gets the better it will grow.

Much more entertaining than many of the existing sports

because

Rugby already has a world wide appeal. It strongly encourages the values of team work and inclusion, these clearly parralell that of the Olympic movement.

World Wide Game For a long time.

Because it's a huge sport and the Olympics should be representative of sports with a massive worldwide following.

IRB 7's draws massive crowds or loyal supporters to every event worldwide.....why not???

A true olympic sport, played by men and women in every continent on the planet. Played for the love of the game where taking part is the most important thing.

Why not?

Help spread the game to a worldwide audience, especially to non-rugby playing nations.

Its one of the most widely played sports in the world. It brings people together and would give the likes of Ireland, a shot of a gold medal.

7's is a good sport and it is truely global

A wonderful amateur sport that allows all types to participate and fosters a wonderful team spirit. Male & female teams already worldwide. Supporters are enthusiastic, and the Olympic viability would greatly help in adoption for the benefit of all.

Because it is a world wide sport, and deserves the recognition

Because it is the worlds best sport

Because i said so.

Olympic rugby will be the most exciting event at the games...no question!

Rugby is an awesome game that brings excitement, fun, enjoyment and a great family day out, not to mention it unites nations, includes all countries and already has a massive following. The olympics would be a worse place without it, rugby is the way forward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rugby 7's offers more in excitement, skill and physicality than any team sport in the olympics
