We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Rugby is one of the most popular sports and is long overdue to be an Olympic Sport.

It's a sport that attracts huge crowds and very exciting to watch.

Rugby is a team sport that promotes cameraderie, friendship and respect between players and opponents. This is also what the olympic movement aspires to.

Will be a nice sport to watch at the olympics and will grow the game quicker thoughout the world

I would likes much to see overseas losing and souf afrika be the best

Rugby generates pasion, convidance, in one self

Because rugby players are some of the toughtest athletes around and deserve to earn recognition at he world's greatest sport event.

Because its the only real physical sport

Rugby needs more world support to strengthen it's following

It's the most entertaining game ever. They deserve to be there.

Representative Sport. Passion, pride and a great spectacle to follow. Please give us Rugby 7's @ the Olympics!

Because it is the epitome of a great sport that can bring people together, showcase true talent and athleticism, and still be entertaining to boot!

Best spectator sport in the world and making it an olympic sport will increase global support

It is the most awesome game that combines Fitness, Strength, Mental Strength, Perseverance, Tactics and many more.

It is the third biggest sport in the world....hello!!!

Rugby is one of the last phyically and mentally intensive sports left. Also technology is unlikely to change the sport as it has changed so many others. I have played and watched rugby since I was a young child and nothing has given me greater pleasure than making a great tackle or watching my team score a try. It is very social and interactive sport that makes the audience and fans feel apart of the experience. It also has a great sense of teamwork because no one person can win a match for any team. So please add 7's rugby as an Olympic sport.

Why not? It's an amazingly engaging sport in which many countries participate in and has a proud following. I would definitely watch more of the Olympics if rugby was included

Rugby should be an Olympic sport as it entertaining, with an amazing history, and appeals to a unique supporter base. The game also highlights many of the qualities that the Olympics wish to put forward.

Great game watched by millions!!

A game that requires fitness, strength & skill

because it is the best sport in the world

Because then South Africa might win a gold medal.

7's rugby - because more nations can compete and the more nations that come together makes a better world to live in. It's also a great athletic sport combining teamwork and individual skill. It would be awesome to see the smaller countries competing for a gold medal.

Rugby has a place for everyone. It has a place for the bigger guys, and a spot for the smaller buggers who can run rings around the big boys. But it also is the most amazing test of one's body. You need to have the fitness to run for 80 minutes but also the strength to move men. And then you need the intelligence to outwit your opponents tactically. It is the perfect game. It is the closest sport gets to being a true test of body and mind.

Because it's a great sport to watch and takes a very specific individual to compete.

Rugby is fast and highly entertaining.Adding rugby to the olympics would also introduce the game to a part of the world where it could inspire young people to play.

becuase it is an amazing sport that should get more publisity

Best game ever.

This is a true game of passion

It is a game played in sportmanship, a battle between nations of pride and glory!

7s is a short sharp sport enabling all nations, big and small, to reasonably compete on a world stage

Rugby Rugby is a sport played by fifteen men, Each man gives his weight by ten, Gladiators of the modern age, Gladiators on a modern stage, Each one raging like a lion caged, Some are young and some have aged, To play this sport they need a ball, Easy to grip and not too small, The supporting player hears the call and then, he passes the rugby ball! by Richard Milbank Rugby should be included in the olympics because it is an exciting game to watch and it brings people together like no other sport. The Values associated with the game of rugby can be attributed to every day life and the more young people who play rugby, especially talented but disadvantaged youngsters, can find a way to express themselves and their talent in a positive way if they subsequently start to play after watching the sport! Rugby for the olympics, would make the Olympics worth the millions dished out to hold the olympics. I guarantee that the game will touch the soul of people who may have never seen the sport before and encourage more young people to start looking for their nearest club or start a new one in their town. Rugby colinization is very important and it needs to continued. The olympics would be a fantastic platform for this.

Its the best sport in the world!!!

The joy and discipline that the game brings to people, and the change that every person undergoes through playing rugby or watching their heroes play, can't be described.... The only way to see what effect rugby has in people's life's is to actually attend an international game between 2 national teams & actually experience the love for the game, the camaraderie between "enemies" and afterwards the beer or 2 just to say.... "The best team won, now we are brothers"!!! Please bring it to the Olympics...

It is the best of them all

We need to profile team sports that are played around the world. If soccor is included, so should rugby.

Rugby epitomises the ideal of pitting your strength and wits against an opponent. To me it is the ultimate sport. to not include it as an Olympic sport, is to denigrate Olympians.
