We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Well established game with an international supporter base

Please add this beatiful sport I love to the Olympics!!!!!

The greatest game ever!!!

It needs to become a Global Sport. It has all the necessary ingedients for a highly entertaining and competitive sport. All sizes of people can play . Spinoff versions such as 7's, Touch, Ladies, 10-a-side

It is a sport that is played all over the world, but only big some countries. I think it will be great for development of the sport

Fast, exciting game and easy to understand by nations who do not really play rugby. Exposure via TV/Media to a huge audience for the game of Rugby.

Very proud and big sport that unite's our nation

It is a sport that is well supported growing daily exciting

Rugby is a great fan sport, and by having it in the Olympics, will encourage kids from all walks of life and all economical means to play a fantastic sport which fosters teamwork, skills and strategic thinking on your feet.

Its a world wide game for men and women that is played in the spirit of the Olympic ideal.

It is a great spectator sport.It is one of the most watched sports.

7's is a fantastic game and represents everything noble about a team sport. It has more participants than sports such as fencing or synchronised swimming for **$%% sake !!

Rugby should be an olympic sport because it is played all over the world and all you need is a field, a ball and a couple of willing players.

Cause it is a sport just like any other that's brilliant to watch

Millions of fans enjoy rugby - many more than basketball

It combines power. pace and skill like no other sport.

To spread the good news about the game

Its the only team sport in the world that a person of any size, shape, ability or form can find a position to play. And the team needs those people (of different shapes and size and abilities) in order to fill a team 1-15.Tall, small, fat, thin, slow, fast, skilled, tough, anyone can find a position in the team (1-15) which he can benifit the team. And if one person in unable to fullfill his role (Job within the team) the rest of the team suffers completely. You tell me any other TEAM sport in the world that fullfills these criteria. Rugby is a team sport in the true sense of the word. And if you watch the game close enough you'll see all the unique human qualities which are absent from most sports these day. True Values and Beliefs, from humility, to pride, courage to honesty, resposibility to compassion, and not to for get sportmanship. A game played by men and a game which inturn teaches you more about life off the field than it does on!

Best game!

It's Olympic by nature...

Because it rocks!!!! DUH

brilliant game long overdue for olympic glory

Because it is the only team sport that carters for all body types and is quickly becoming a global game that is not played by the traditional world powerhouses.

It is simply the best entertainment - fast, furious and non-stop action!

it iis a finomanal sport and test not only phisical strencht but mental endurance and that can apply as marathon of some sort if I'm not mistaken. Woman participate and play and so do men. Its not a ons sex sport and it is one of the most watched international sports after soccer.

It's a great game

It is by far the most exciting team sport. It unifies Nations and the World

As the ultimate team sport, it personifies the Olympic ideals of unity.

Because 7s Rugby is a global sport where the minnows (Kenya, Canada, etc) can beat the giants (South Africa, New Zealand, England, Australia) of the game. Its fast, exciting and physical and so great to watch.

It is a wonderful team sport that encourages young people to be active and involved

The I would watch the Olympic's

good team sport

The competitiveness of IRB 7s Series and the interest it creates are enough reasons for rugby to be included in the Olympics.

More Exposure to more players and supporters

It's fast becoming a truly global sport, is played by both male and female participants and makes for great viewing. Simply nothing beats the 7's format!! It requires great skill, is fast-paced and embodies everything that the Olympic ethos does - it's a sure bet!

Why not!

It is the best sporting game in the world!

Because it plays a big part in many a countries.

Cause its a awesome sport - love watching it!

rugby is one of the finest sports on the planet.the need for teamwork, passion,sportsmanship and phyisical ability embody the olympic spirit and it would be a valuable asset to the olympic games

Duh!

It is a team game that has high sportsman ship and cameraderie. Games are played with passion and skill. Representing your country is a great honour for any sportsman and this is VERY prominent in Rugby. I also think this is what the Olympic Games is about as well, playing for your country while being a good sportsman and showing cameraderie.

Because its the greatest game on earth!!!!

Because it is one of the biggest spectator sports in the world.

Rugby was an Olympic sport. One of the most attracteble sports to watch.

The greatest team sport on earth

Rugby is a powerful sport that needs to be exposed some more. We need some action in the Olympics too... Intense game! Definitely deserves to be in the Olympics!

Because rugby has a much more extensive fan base than many of the other sports at the Olympics, so why should it not be included

Its a wonderful game with great traditions!

world status

To grow the game internationally

Ruby is my life!!!

It is a sport that is exciting and being an olympic sport will grow it globally

Its already a recognised international sport

It is second to soccer in popularity

The IRB rugby wworld cup is the 2nd biggest event outside of the olympics after the FIFA soccer world cup. It makes perfect sense to have it included.

It is probably the highest evolved form of team sports ever devises by man

because itss awesome

Because it rocks!!!!

Cuz the DOOR says so

simple...its a very entertaining sport to watch!

One of the worlds most played sports.
