We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Can't understand why it's not - it's the best sport in the world and the most disciplined!

Rugby is played to a high standard by several countries; fast, flowing rugby like the IRB World 7s series would be great to see at the Olympics!

Lets make it happen!

The skill, speed and unpredictable nature of the game. Also it gives "lesser" Olympic nations (Fiji, NZ etc) a chance to win medals

because it is an heroic sport, men pitting themsleves against each other physically, going head to head ... a true test of the quality of nationhood.

7's is quick, skillful and entertaining. The shorter games would make it more watchable to the non-rugby fans watching the olympics.

Rugby Sevens is an exciting and entertaining game which deserves much more recognition than it currently recieves.

It is a fast, action packed game which, unlike a great number of current olympic sports, actually played at a high competative level internationally.

Because it's better than football

It is a good entertaining sport without the drama,s of soccer players.

Why WOULDN'T rugby be Olympic? It shares all the values - friendship, fair competition, hard work and skill, unity.

Becasue it should be.

Rugby should be in the Olympics because it is a great sport which can bring a lot to the Games with its fast action paced play. With rugby being in the Olympics it would help to also grow the sport.

Its is upholds the olympic spirit of fair play and sportsmanship far more than football.

Best sport ever

To encourage more nations to take an interest in the sport than just the old guard, and because it's so popular and engaging to watch

It's one of the most popular games in the worls, a fantastic specticle, would create a huge interest in the olympics and would be excellent for rugby in spreading the global game. it's unbelieveable that it's not included when some really minority "sports" are

Increase playing numbers worldwide and allow all types of physical attributes to play a team sport

Rugby is a great, thrilling, worldwide team sport and would add to the thrill of the olympics

A gold medal for rugby sevens' would be the ultimate prize in sevens' rugby and would attract the best players to the olympics.

It is a great and historic sport. There are many excellent athletes who play rugby. The olympics should recognise this.

Rugby is a sport transcending boundries geographically as well as culturally. The team spirit as well as ethos for the game and respect for referees fit the Olympic mould perfectly.
