The popularty of rugby exceeds a large portion of the current summer Olympic sports, truly an internation sport with no 1-2 countries dominating (especially the proposed 7's version), and though a maile dominated sport currently the women's sides are rapidlöy catching up to the men's skill levels.

Best team sport ever, great tactics and physical

Rugby is the living embodiment of the Olympic spirit - the pursuit of excellence achieved through personal sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears in a sport played and enjoyed across the planet. It is a battle on a gladiatorial level, wholly dependent on the contribution of the athlete with no need for fancy equipment, stupid haircuts and histrionics. And for the spectators, sterilised by the obsessive enforcement of health and safety rules by nanny states, there is the vicarious thrill of watching two teams pitched against one another in a savage contest of skill, speed, teamwork and strength. Marvellous!!

It follows the Olympic rules and it is very spectacular

7s is exciting, fast paced, with a wide player base, with teams like Kenya, Portugal, Germany, all able to take on the best in the world and win. Spectators love it, players love it, referees love it. It's easy to play, easy to watch, easy to understand. It's played in the Olympic spirit.

Because it is one of the best and biggest team sports in this world!

Largest team game (15), Rugbymen are the 21st century gladiators. In some words, Strong, Courageous, Proud, total Respect (especialy the refery) whatever they loose or win.

A lot of other sports could learn from rugby's fairness.

Rugby has always been a sport about pride, fairness, honour and team play, a spirit which has never faded. These values can only add towards Pierre de Coubertin's idea and mission statement of the olympics with "...mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play".

A big event like olympic need a big sport like rugby!!!

It's a superb spectator sport.
