We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Its a team game, fantastic comradeship,team spirit and evokes everything good about sport.

The Olympics are a celebration of individual and team physical endurance and rugby union is the ultimate sport so should be allocated the stature associated with track and filed athletics.

Return to the roots ... bring rugby back in to open game up to the world, and provide national monies to be put back into the game.

Best international team sport, retaining a true corinthian spirit commensurate with Olympic ideal.

It is a sport with high levels of competitiveness yet lhas long maintained high ethical standards amongst its players

The fact that someone had the gall to add Beach Volleyball and BMX as an Olympic sport gives them no right to deny a proper sport like rugby.

A fast, exciting and accessible game played by many countries, what more do you want?!

I think it would be a great addition to the Olympics.

Would be a proud moment for the sport

It is an International Sport that is inclusive all cultures and creeds.

One of the fastest growing sports in the world should be there

A fast, engaging sport, a huge following, not gender biased, and thoroughly entertaining. Rugby has everything to capture the imagination of its audience. A great day out for any spectator... I highly encourage its participation in the Olympics!

it is the ultimate team sport, skill, speed, power and brains

Greatest and passionate sport in the world!

It will fill the stadium while everyone's waiting for the track and field to start. It will give smaller nations such as Fiji a genuine chance for medals and it would be a great spectacle.

Because it is widely practiced around the world by men and women and provides huge interest and entertainment. It's the best sport in the world!

It has a massive global audience and fan base and would attract more viewers than many of the other less well known sports

Serious support around the world, will fill the stadium, men and women, fast and very entertaining

It's an international sport, just like soccer. The only difference is it's more interesting to watch.

amazing game

- Best Sport in the World! - Gives genuine chances to win Medals to smaller countries, too! - A truly global sport!

Fantastic team sport and rugby fans are so dedicated and loyal.

so good for the kids to see the discipline and skills

Because it's a global game that highlights athleticism at it's highest and stands by the Olympic values.

Seriously? Look around.

After the olympics and after football world cup the rugby world cup is the next biggest sporting event.

You know it makes sense.

To help continue to foster the growth of one of the fastest growing sports globally

Rugby is one of the largest sports in the world. It deserves to be an Olympic sport ahead of such "sports" as synchronised swimming.

Class sport

Because it's a huge sport and it's missing out by not being in the olympics

It is a sport that encompasses everything that is great about the Olympics

Because it's great

Is is a fantastic, entertaining, exciting team sport which would add a lot to the olympics.

It is a game that has the greatest comradery, instills some of the best principles, and drives people to constantly improve both individually, and more importantly as a team. It takes both physical and mental strength to be great in rugby, and the things that you learn by being involved with it will stay with you for the rest of our life. Quite simply, it is the greatest game in the world.

Great Sport, great entertainment

The third most popular sport in the world can no longer be ignored.

Cause its the best sport in the world and its a test of all skills.

Because it would add more to the Olympics, and would make the people who wouldnt usually watch the Olympics but play rugby watch it because the campeign has been so well advertised. And people would consider playing 7's rugby because it would give them the chance of competing in the Olympics

if archery and showjumping can be in the olympics then rugby surely should

Why not? There are plenty of other "sports" in their that deserve it less than rugby (e.g. table tennis).

Because its great..

It's an international sport played at amateur levels globally.

Its a great event that can fit perfectly into the schedule, and no better place then in England where rugby was invented
