We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

As Rugby is already being played almost in every part of the world, and it had been played at the top level too. If rugby is not allowed in olympic, then soccer or other team sport shouldn't be in too! Thus, i strongly urge the committee to put rugby into the world stage whereby it can be recognize by everyone and everybody which it already had. Thank you

It is a good team sport that fosters team spirit (i.e. experiencing pain and triumph together), more so than football or other team sports. Both intellectual and physical due to the tactical and contact natures of the sport. Builds character as the saying goes, "football is a gentleman's sport played by hooligans, rugby is a hooligan's sport played by gentleman."

it made me a better person. made me more racial tolerant than ever. it deserves the world stage.

Should be included because its a great sports

Rugby is a sport that bonds people through a fun and enjoyable way

Words cannot describe this wonderful game.

coz it's exciting, a sport for real men

Because its fast(requring only 2 days) and entertaining(lots of tries).

I believe rugby should be counted as part of the olympics because the sport is quite established. Furthermore, rugby is also among the popular sports among the world, which has alot of fans. Hence, i truely believe rugby should be a part of the olympics.

so that i can enjoy watch player from around the world coming together for the huge event and battle for becoming the best which i think will be very interesting and meaningful to the world.

it's gentleman game...

I think rugby is as competitive or a more competitive sport that will bring a team together bringing pride to the teams country.

The sport is fast pace and exciting and its the 3rd most watched sporting event in the world after the Olympics and Soccer World cup. Including the 7s format into the Olympics will draw more interest to the sport and bring more success to the Olympics as a whole.

Because it show's the desire of a human spirit to overcome obstacles! Passion that burns everyone single soul to win for glory!

Cause it's a highly demanding sport, that should be showcased at the Olympics. It should be introduced and played by everyone. After all, its the game played in Heaven.

Rugby 7's is the greatest spectator sport in the world. It embodies the olympic ideal and would add an extra something to the Olympics!! These atheletes deserve the chance to perform on the greatest worldstage there is.

It's about time.

rugby is part of english game !

The whole world should be given the chance to witness this wonderful game played by gentlemen. Besides, I'm tired of reading about some star-studded soccer players' transfers in the newspapers. Let's have some real action going on!

It's a world wide game,

A ball-game resembling rugby football was a game played by ancient Greeks called episkuros.Olympic Games originated from ancient Greece. Shouldn't Rugby 7s be included?

The fact that the Rugby World Cup is the 3rd most-televised event in the world is reason enough for it to be included in the Olympics!

Its a game which builds character and promotes a great spirit of unity, sportsmanship and camaderie.

It is a game in Union as the rugby tagline goes. What better way to show case Olympics as a meeting of minds, culture and spirit of different races and nationalities than a sport that is celebrated in Union

It fosters all the same values as the Olympics

It should be part of Olympics because the game requires more team work and discipline than many other team sports. It teaches good values.

Rugby is a sport. period.

Singapore
