      Rugby is better than other sports such as boxing and taekwondo and are more noble and the same violent. I know that the reason why rugby isn't olympic is the time between matches but starting the tournament before the olympic games and planning it carefully we can make this sport olympic.

      Creo que el rugby debería de ser olímpico al ser uno de los deportes que con más cuidado se tratán tanto las viejas aspiraciones de respeto a los árbitros, a los contrarios y la busqueda de ese espectador totalmente civico y deportivo, uno de los últimos deportes al que ha llegado el profesionalismo, y uno de los primeros deportes en ser olimpicos en la era moderna. Durante todas las olimpiadas, desgraciadamente, se han podido ver casos lamentables de falta de deportividad y de espíritu olimpico en varios deportes, y no tengo constancia de que alguno se ellos haya sido excluido de las olimpiadas como se hizo con el rugby. El rugby es uno de los deportes más valorados por un gran número de paises, sus mundiales son seguidos con expectacion por todo el mundo y creo que podría representar un aliciente más a las olimpiadas, a parte de suponer una ayuda a la promoción de este deporte en paises como el mío, en el que los deportes más "comerciales" se llevan la gran mayoría del pastel a nivel promocional, publicitario, económico y también en jugadores de base.
