We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Because it combines strenght, speed, endurance, teamwork and agility in one sport.

because its a great game to enjoy and in my opinion one of the ultimate chalenges to the human body, dusforth worthy of the Olympics

It's the coolest sport there is, exists longer than many other sports that are olympic!

Because in comparison to football and other olympic team sports, it tests endurance, strength and many more things, much more

Because it is the best game in the world, maily due to the fact that it is excitingly pain sharing with a lot of commitment for and through each other. Rugby teams travel all over the world to share their experiences and ideas. So obviously it belongs in the olimpics.

it embodies all olympic principles and is one of the biggest sports on the planet

it's a true world game, open for all and not as elitist as many Olympic "sports" like yatching or all that horsey bullsh*t!!!

Top athletes. Exciting to watch!

becaus its the best sport to promote respect

There's no sport more olympic in character. Sportsmanship is real important to rugby whereas for other sports this is only true in name.

Because it is a tough but fair played teamsport with a lot of action.

It's the greatest sport in the world and deserves the Olympic status!

Power, strenght, pace, skills, tactics, fairplay -> rugby

It is the best sport to watch and play

Respect.

Only the XV-aside version because it is true sport.

Better question- why shouldn't it be in the olympics! Thrilling to watch!

Respect is everything. Hard to find in Soccer, Common in Rugby

Because its a worldwide sport, and it's the coolest sport!!

Rugby is a global game and the olympics would benefit hugely from having such a sport.

Many muscles, good and fair game. handsome people!

Because if there is one sport that is in line with the Olympic way of thinking then that is rugby.

Because there is no sport more interesting to watch

Çause it's the most exciting and all round sport around.

It offers both players and spectators a lot of fun in a fair and exiting sport

Spectacular - Fair Play - Friendship - Respect

Because it should.

It's the best sport ever !!

Rugby embodies everything the Olympics are about: sportmanship, attractive games, respect for the opposition, referees and spectators - it will be a huge asset for the Olympics!

Because Rugby decirves it

The most beautifull and spectaculair game in the world, should be known by everyone. This will happen when its an olympic game.

Quick, dynamic and atractive game for players and spectators. Will be a have light

Rugby is played all over the world......THATS WHY !!!!

It's the most fair game in the world

We'll have an other great event to watch and the sport is big enough to be olympic.

Best sport in the world

Rugby embodies the Olympic Spirit and there is a true level of sportsmanship in this sport: both on the field and through its supporters.

Because it's the best sport ever! Tactic's, strenght, power and ofcourse the contacts between the teams after the game. No holligans (just on the pitch) and streackers...

Because it is a fair sport. Other sports can learn from it!

A true sport with all the drama but with the camaraderie that can unite the wordl! Top Athletes, Top sport, top people!

A true team sport

It would help develop rugby in my country, our NOC is not interested in non-olympic sports but is main distributor of funds.

It's widely played around the world and a sport in its purest form. There are many Olympic sports less pure than rugby

Why not?

Rugby is one of the biggest sports in the world and has as that to be part of the olympic games

Because it is the coolest sport ever. And it is the most interesting sport. You need to have a lot of skills to be able to understand rugby, it is much more complicated than for instance soccer!

Because it is the sport with the most speed, strength, tactics, technics, and ambience , of all times!!!

why not, you have those stupid horsethings. thats not even a sport but a circusact

Becuase it is a game that belongs there, it is fantastic with millions of participants over the world
