We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

It's fair, dynamic, played with heart and soul and for fame and honor.

Great spirit in the game - very olympic ideals! Rugby desperately needs support in 'non-rugby' countries like Switzerland!... We have to fight hard for a sand pitch to practise on! =(

Because Rugby is a sport involving respect, athlesism, hand eye coordination, interesting for TV, great for spectators

it realy embodies the true spirit of olympics!

It is a real global sport and has one of the biggest world cup tournaments

It is well known in many parts of the world. It is fast and enternaining.

It would be a great opportunity to develop Rugby in others countries, like Switzerland...

Because this sport has the human and fight spirit as well as frienship values like it was at the Olympic games inception

Because it is one of the great team sports; and it also still, at least at an amateur level, able to be played by both men, women and children of all shapes and sizes.

Because it's the most respectable collective sport much more than football (I pay 12 years football so I konw what I say). So why can't we show this wonderful sport through the olympic games

Because it is a great sport

Both male and female sport, countries of all the continents have their chance to win a medal, it's a sport for athletes and rugby vehicles values that are fundamental such as respect, loyalty and team spirit. The world needs those values to be put forward.

As a sport older than most, it a disgrace thats its code of ethics and sprotmans ship are ignored by the olympic committee, while Football with its bad sportmanship and disgracefull behaviour to the referee's is allowed.

Warum sollte Rugby Olympischen werden?

With more than 50'000 spectators during the World-Cup... why not...

It's a fantastic game and it would be a great enrichment of the olympic games!

It's one of the greatest sports ever. Tough and fair play. A real game of sports.

Rugby show be an Olympic game.

because it deserves to be!

It's a traditional game, spread and played over the whole world. The question should be: "Why is Rugby NOT Olympic, yet?"

The 7's is a great entertainement, quick , short timing, and today Rugby is one of few sport few still carries some essential values, which are quickly forgotten nowadays.

It's fun.

Because its an awesome sport :)

because it's a very popular sport

Just the best sport in the world!

I am proud to say that my eight-year-old son has chosen rugby as his favourite sport. I see no better sport to develop a child's sense of sportsmanship than rugby and including it in the Olympics would help to encourage kids to take up this excellent game!

oui

Its the best game in the world - pure and simple!

cos its cool

it is an international sport that are being played all over the world and can as such be part of the Olympics

Outside the main rugby nations, the sport is entirely amateur played for a love of the game and thus in keeping with the Olympic spirit. It is fast, dynamic and exciting.

it is a noble sport

Because RUGBY IS a school for life: team spirit paired with indivdualism, respect, fairness, bringing nations together to crown the best in peace

Because it's a fantastic sport and it deserves to be at the olympic games

Because it's the fairest sport of all!

Perché merita come tutti gli altri sport di partecipare a questo importantissimo evento

great sport peaceful fans

it's the best

E lo sport piu vero che ci sia e non lo fate giocare?? Incredibile....

7s is a game that can be played by all, regardless of size or infrastructure- therefore it has a truly global appeal!

Because Rugby is the most interesting, beautiful, sporty and dynamic game.
