We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

It is a decent sport, with a great following.

It help unite a devided South Africa after it's first democratic elections. If it can do that in South Africa it can do that to the world!

because it is a great sport and if football (soccer), basketball and tennis can be in the olympics then why not??

Team Sport, exciting, fun to watch, multisex

Its a world wide sport

Seeing that rugby world cup is one of the major sport events in the world. It would make a great addition to the olympic games.

It gives countries that have good rugby teams to be in the olympics and gives a chance to all players to be a part of something big, which they deserve.

Rugby should become olympic as there is a huge following worldwide. alot of countries play rugby. and its just as supported as soccer

Why should Rugby be Olympic? It's an ever growing sport, especially the sevens, and it has much more action than football!

It is a dynamic and exciting sport with a huge world following and would attract many fans. Further, becoming an olympic sport would help develop the game further.

Why not??

It is becoming a worldwide sport + it is the greatest game in the world

It is the best game in the world

Why should underwater Hockey?

By FAR the most exiting sport in the world!! Flip, if CURLING can be a Olympic sport then 7's should definitely be there!!!!

It is a wonderful game, with a proud heritage and is the second most "watched" game internationally. Why not - it just makes sense...Maybe then I will watch olympics...Im tired of seeing these sissy-boys - bring on the real men!

As rugby is becoming a global game with more people interested in the game being part of the Olympics will only grow the game and give smaller countries the opportunity to achieve Olympic medals.

It is a game that has global appeal. Not as much as soccer, but a lot more than archery, skeet shooting, table tennis and the like. It's been far too long since this was an Olympic sport. The title needs to be taken away from the USA...

Its an awesome sport that deserves to become part of the olympics

This games helped build South Africa and is possible the greatest team game in world.

because its an exhilarating sport which will appeal to even first time watchers. the best game in the world!

Its great to watch

The seven series is entertaining and probaly one of the farsts growing sport

It is a global sport with a huge following, it can only add great things to the already great Olympics!

Popular and entertaining sport

We need more fun and excitement in the Olympics and Rugby is just what is needed for that...

Ruby is a universal game loved by many, it is one of the few team sport game that an be fit into a 2 day tournament, it is a perfect Olympic fit.

7s is already used as a vehical to develop the sport globally. Olympic coverage would be the best advertisement possible for rugby. It would help globalise the sport.

Boks can bring home some medals

Because i LOVE rugby

Because it belongs on the world stage.

It's great to watch!!!!

The most competitive emerging sport in the world, it's fast entertaining & the crowd loves the party atmosphere, what more could you ask for?

It's certainly played by more people in more countries than for example Archery, downhill racing, high diving, synchronised swimming, the list can go on and on.

It's an alround test of athletic ability

Rugby is the greatest sport ever, just look at what it did for Sunny South Africa in the 1995 World Cup, being part of the olympics it will provide a great platform for smaller countries as well.

Rugby is by far the best team sport in the world and it only makes sense that it forms part of the Olympics. Signed : Player 23

In order to give up and coming teams like Japan, Kenya, Canada etc. more competative exposure.

RUGBY IS THE MOST FISICAL SPORT IN THE WORLD AND EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS

Because it is a sport just like any other.

The beautiful game

It's the beast team sport on earth

It's the best game in the world.

So that my country can take more gold medals home

It brings a nation together to fight for ultimate supremacy- an Olympic Gold Medal!!!

BECAUSE OF THE ENTERTAINMENT AND PHYSICAL PRESENCE AND ATHLETICISM OF THE PLAYERS.... BEEN PROVED OVER AND OVER AGAIN DURING THE HONG KONG SEVENS AND THE WORLD SERIES. IT SIMPLY A MUST... COMPARING TO OTHER TEAM SPORTS IN OLYMPICS

Rugby is a global sport, and a highly entertaining spectator sport.

More than 150 countries play rugby. More than 3 million play 7's rugby.

It is a spectacular sport that test athletism.

rugby is a national sport and it should be shared with the rest of the world.to play in the olimpics is a onour and the players would love it.

Just look at how much support the 7's game has!it must becom an Olympic sport, its more exciting than weightlifting, or the hammerthrow!

Because the game is awesome and I'd love to see rugby being played next time we watch the Olympics.So that mean the world to me!

Rugby should be an olympic sport because it is one of the most complete sports. It accommodates players of different physiques and strengths, and above all else it encompasses the true spirit of sportsmanship.

A great sport
