We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

how much more action packed can a sport get

rugby is so popular nowadays .it is the second biggest sport in the world behind only football.i dont c any reason why rugby 7s should not b in the olympics

Global sport, encompassing developing and developed nations in Europe, Africa, Asia, Pacific and LATAM

Good for the sports.

Because it caters to all sizes shapes, men, women and children, it is also a unique sport for character building and team camaraderie and must become a global sport. 7's is fantastic entertainment from an excitement and athletic perspective - to even those who don't know the sport. Bring it in!

7's is an exciting, fast moving game to watch in the olympics. Far ahead of Synchronised swimming!!!

Because it will help the game grow in the USA

Because of the numbers actively engaged in the sport

Why should Rugby be in the Olympics? Why? Because it is possibly (in my opinion) the greatest team sports known to mankind. It brings together several countries from around the world to compete together. There is rivalry on the field but off the field there is friendship. Rugby is being played all over the world and I believe that there should be another worldwide competition other than the Rugby World Cup.

it's a very complete and exciting sport.

rugby 7's has proved to be a global sport in recent years, fast growing international following

because of the atmosphere that it brings

It will be one of the few events that will sell out the stadium and will be over in two days! Look at the interest it generates in the Commonwealth games - the biggest event there is the 7's rugby.

Rugby encompasses all nationalties, equally, being played across every continent.

Rugby sevens is a competitive sport that should be recognised in the Olympics for its skill and passion.

Rugby is the game they play in Heaven

It's the second biggest World Cup competition, after soccer

with 7's rugby anybody can win, just look wales are world champs, who would have thouhgt

A perfect game for an olympic format and a truly global game.

because it shows how rugby is a team player and friendship between rival

Increases the countries that play rugby to compete on another level

Amazing game great format for Olympic competition, has a place for all countries.

Its a sport with so much passion behind it, teamwork is the most important thing and the fans are amazing.. its truly olympic worthy!

It is a great sport and a growing sport and people really get into it.

Rugby should be in the olympics because it is a sport. If Riding a horse can get you into the olympics, so should rugby. Rugby is a thinking game, not just all tackle brute force game, you have to think pretty hard to play this game. Alot of countries will get a chance to shine and bask in the olympic light if rugby is brought to the olympics.

All sports should be olympics & rugby is a great sport!

the olympics suck get a real game in there

It's a great sport to watch

Because it is a great team sport

Great entertanement

Just a good of a sport as Ice Hockey, soccer, field hockey.

It's an international game!

Because it'll bring new countries into contention for medals and is loved by millions

Make it 7`s and it will become a great Olympic spectacle.

Rugby World Cup proves the audience

because it is a great world wide sport.

Rugby is exciting, it's fast, a tournament can be held over three days with a number of realistic medal prospects being countries that do not otherwise win a large number of medals, pacific island and african nations. It is dynamic and requires strength and speed, surely part of what a true olympic sport should be.

It's more universal than half the sports already included.

Rugby culture epitomises good sportsmanship and team spirit. An ethos that shares many traits with the olympic ideal.

As much an olympic sport as hockey or any other team sport

Rugby is popular sport in the world. It has the sevens, so why not the full code. The world cup is a year before the olympics, so why not throw another big competition just after it, so they can compete for that title aswell, and try keep their world cup crown by winning the olympic title too.

Cos it fucking rocks, and is drug free, so we dont need testing and the peeple who play it arent thick. We think it is fucking better than soccer which is only played by fags and if we were included then it would stretch the olumpics by another 5 weeks coz we need a weeks break after each game coz we so strong. great commercial sense. anyone can play rugby as long as you look like a chimpanzee and are a fat bastard and can thunk intelligently

Cos rugby needs all the help it needs, and its better than bowls. Every other sports are for faggots

Passion, team spirit, large viewership/following.

Rugby needs to be in the Olympics because it is a real team and family game played in true sporting spirit that epitomises the Olympic mottos. Rugby is the best sport in the world. It would also be a major crowd and TV success.

Because it already has been in the olympics and is a great competitive sport and alot of countries can compete not just the likes of USA and China winning all the olympic medals.

Sevens is exciting. Rugby is the sport of champions. just add it!!!!

Because I believe it would give incentive for more countries to compete in the sport. Rugby 7's has become popular and contested in many countries and Union is also becoming more popular. It only takes away from the world cup in the same way it takes away from the Soccer World Cup which isn't much, infact it just makes it more of a global event. Please let it join the Olympics so New Zealand and many other countries can see some of their favourite athalietes become Gold Medalists!

it would be one of the best team sports there

Why should Rugby be Olympic? It is a great sport that will fit into the olympic games programe just find

Because it is a game played all over the world, loved by millions. And it would be good for the sport.

It has a history - and sevens is growing and growing ... Asia is becoming competitive and so is Africa - terrific atmosphere for a Olympic's ready provided - look at HK.

Kia Kaha . Forever Strong . The Greatest Game .

Rugby is a true team game that will benefit the smaller nations of the world that play it. These smaller nations are largely amateur based and that is the value of rugby being in the olympics - giving amateurs a stage to perform on.

Olympic rugby (most likely in the 7s format) will be one of the most entertaining events at the Games. Besides Handball is in there.

Great Game
