Great sport for spectators. I would like the 15 man game in there but it wouldn't be possible due to the short time frame of the olympics.

because it's exciting, athletic and entertaining. Putting it in the olympics would help spread the game throughout the world

What other sport demonstrates the Olympic motto of "Faster, Higher, Stronger" than rugby...
