We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Why should Rugby be Olympic? It's far more entertaining than golf. The skill and stamina requiered fantastic

Rugby 7s is a great fun spectacle which I am sure the world would enjoy. Many people I know who do not enjoy Rugby have watched 7s and started to like Rugby through this discipline of the game. MAKE RUGBY OLYMPIC!

This is possibly one of the few remaining platforms that involves aspiring countries to compete globally & help give the smaller nations an opportunity to discover the magic of the game.

The game of 7's Rugby is fast, exciting and a great spectator sport played world wide.

Rugby is a great team building sport, Its a sport where a lot of skill and determination and strength comes in. Its a tough game and to be a sport in the Olympics would not only boost more people watching it but also boost rugby worldwide to get more people playing the game.

the question is why shold rugby not be olympic

the game is ideal for the olympic spectators

because it's one of the best sports in the world - fast, competitive and truly global

This great game is ideaaly suited to the Olympics because of the interest and fun attached to watching this fast and furious game. The small number of players means that spectators can be certain of an exciting and stimulating match no matter who is playing.

Its awesome bro ;) How many nations compete in this magically versitle game! Should have been in for London 2012! Lets get rugby to where it deserves to be, Olympics!

Rugby is fast, social , competitive - perfect for the games.

In my opinion rugby is the the finest team game in the world and although tough and competitive it is played in good sprit and the players abide by the referee's decision. It is also a game which fosters lifelong friendships and often with players in opposition. It is an ideal sport to portrait the olympic spirit

WHY NOT MOST OTHER SPORTS ARE AND THIS IS AS COMPETITIVE AS IT GETS, ITS GREAT TEAM WORK AND ENTERTAINMENT IS 100%.

it is the best sport in the wourld

just should be.

Rugby is awesome...Enough said!

It has many player from all over the world

Great Sport! Great Fun! Great Fraternity!

It is a world supported sport that offers far more than football to the watching public around the world

This many people can't be wrong. ;P

Rugby Clubs all over the world endeavour to support their local communities. There would be more financial support for club development if rugby became an olympic event and the knock on effect will therefore benefit the wider community

A great team sport that is always played in a spirit that is also associated with the Olympic games

The Olympics supposedly represent a clash of the Titans here on Earth. I challenge anyone to provide a sport which demonstrates this almighty clash better than rugby.

It is a perfect game for the olympics. Fast, exciting and has a big following. each half is only 7 minutes long and the whole tournament could be run over 3 days. Would bring in a lot of supporters of the game who tend to travel the world following the I.R.B 7's tournament. It shoyld be a must for the Olympics

Rugby is a great game and the 7-a-side version is widely played across the world. There is genuine competition from some of the smaller nations and the Olympic stage would be a perfect opportunity to showcase the beauty of teh game. To my mind it has a stronger appeal than soccer and is more widely played than some of the other contenders for a new sport.

Increase support for a game which can unite people worldwide

Rugby is a very popular Sport in many Countries World wide and the 'Sevens' are entertaining, highly competitive and extremely entertaining,

To encourage world wide development of the sport

rugby is an exciting sport for players and supporters

Fantastic game to watch

Rugby is a combination of both physical, psycological and tactical aspects. It is a spectical of brilliant athletes competing on a nother level compared to other sports. Even with its physicality and agression these athletes are displined in comparison with the disgrasful performances often witnessed in football. It is a spectrical which will draw crowds who are respectful, we only have to look at the rugby 7s tournaments held. Rugby should be recognised as an olymipc sport

Why should it not ?

large number of countries play,a good sport to play, and also to watch.

FANTASTIC, FAST FUN SPORT TO WATCH

Just because

Rugby is one of the most entertaining and enjoyable sports. Now comparing it to other sports that are less interesting and less enjoyable that are being allowed into the olympics there is nor reason why a fantastic sport such as rugby should not be part of such a large event.

It is the best sport there.

It is exciting quick and played in the correct spiit.

As an amateur sport rugby has a lot to offer.

Let's make the Olympic rings oval. 7s are a must in London or Edinburgh and beyond.

It's a game that represents the true Olympic spirit in every way, especially in terms of courage, determination, fitness and team performance.

Because of the level of fitness and skill required to play at the top level.

It is a highly skilled team sport, exciting to watch, played all over the world. It teaches players how to deal with confrontation, how to control aggression and engages them in the ethos of team spirit

It is a great spectacle to watch!

Rugby should be an Olympic sport because not only is it entertaining and thrilling to watch but it’s also inspiring and has helped bring down barriers within society across the world. Rugby has already proved its worth to the world and should become an Olympic sport.

Rugby should be in the Olympics because it is a sport of integrity and good sportsmanship. The behaviour of rugby players and the fans are exemplary during rugby tournaments around the world.
