      An olympic rugby competition would be a great way for smaller nations such as Tuvalu, Fiji, Samo and others to show what they're made of. People unfamiliar with international rugby think that the Pacific isles are a bunch of no-goods when it comes to sport.

      It combines all the three words that the Olympic games stand for, "Bigger, Stronger, Faster", if I'm not misstaken. It's probably the only game where Fair Play is the most important thing, i.e. no complaining over the ref's decision, no whining over your opponents etc. Also, the Rugby World Cup is the third largest sportng event in the world with a massive audience attendance and a vast media broadcasting to a great many countries all over the world.

      Olnly way the sport can grow in Sweden is to get some time in the media. Torday Swedish telivision only air 15 min rugby (7s 10s union or league) TOTAL per year! It's a shame, and it's hard to recruite among the youngsters because they don't know what rugby is...
