We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

A great spectator sport fast and furious

Rugby should be olympic because it the best sport in the world and as such deserves to be in the best sporting competition in the world.

It's a fantastic game played with all sorts of variations, from full contact to sevens to touch rugby.

Great sport

very enjoyable game, great supporters, tremendous social event

If any sport encpasulates the Olympic spirit rugby 7's is that sport.

becuse its a sport like every other in the olympics

it is a wonderful sport

There is no better game out there!It's got everything that the original Gladiators of Athens would have loved.Power,pace,strength,skill,aglity&respect!!

because it is an amazing spectator sport as well as a sport to play.

Because rugby and it's fans demonstrate all the olympic ideals.

It embodies the olympic spirit.

Highly competetive, entertaining game that promotes sportsmanship, team spirit and comraderie between competitors and fans

Embraces many countries and Sevens allows smaller nations to compete against the more established countries. Also the womens game is now well developed. It will fill the stadium at the Olympics.

Rugby is an exciting contact sport, its devotees are good-humoured and well-behaved (off the pitch!).

Rugby is a game for all,whatever shape,size,speed,ethnicity,or even sexuality.

A game that can be enjoyed by all.

Rugby is a growing sport around the world, look at Kenya in the world 7's. rugby is for all ages regardless of sex.

All sports should be encorporated in the olympic festival of sport. Also rugby was invented in the UK so would be an ideal opportunity to bring rugby back into the five rings of the Olympic games.

Rugby is the ultimate team game. Fat, thin, fast or slow, tall or short, there is a place in the team for you. This is why we must spread the game across the world so kkiods everywhere can join in.

it is a fast inclusive sport that allows teams from all over the world to compete...teams like georgia and kenya have excelled and it is not just an elitist sport

To show the world the best team sport ever created

It is the best Team Game in the World

It deserves recognition - but it would have to be a UK Lions team!

Global game for all shapes and sizes, men and women,

As a true amateur team sport seven's rugby is a natural Olympic sport and one that is available to every country at little cost but at great sporting value.

It is a fantastic, competitive team sport that has a HUGE following all around the world. I LOVE IT!!

because its the best sport duh

becuase it's the only sport around where people dont fake.. like in football you dive.. rugby's all about team work and it will encourage more females and males to join in on the sport if they make it as an olympic sport

because its a sport that should be there

It's simplicity and availability to every nation

It's simply the best game on earth!!

The olympic commitee has subjected us to gimmicky events such as ball room dancing, bmx,dressage and synchronized swimming, yet one of the most relevant and real sports in the world remains off the olympic radar...shame on you

Its the most inclusive game on earth with participants of all agesand both genders, all with more integrity and sportsmanship than Football could dream of, and maybe even, dare I say it, athletics.

As the game fulfills all the requirements in sport as laid down by the Olympic committee and is traditionally followed by thousands of fans and is gaining recognition and in many other less traditional countries worldwide

Rugby 7's is a fast, high killed game which entertains all!! Lets make it an Olympic Sport!!

7s is widely played, increasingly so in countries other than the traditional rugby countries. A quick exciting game of skill and easy for audiences to follow.

why not tennis is, football is, they get payed more than rugby players so why not rugby. it was a good event in the commenwealth games.

A truly world sport

Rugby 7's is played by so many different countries. So many different 'small' countries are successful in the game and would have every chance of winning e.g. Kenya, Portugal.

cause its the greatest team game in world!

Rugby as a sport is growing and to have teams from all nations can only be good for the sport. This is also an opportunity for them to play the best teams in the world. Look at the success of the rugby world cup.!

It ticks all the 'olympic' fraternity boxes

Coz its one of the biggest sports in the world and it has millions and millions of fans. It involves many different nations and cultures and those ingrediants alone is what makes the Olympics! MAKE RUGBY OLYMPIC!!!

Because not taking into consideration that the sport of rugby is the most complete team sport there is, it would draw into the Olympic fold countries that are currently not represented, and that is what the spirit of the Olympics is all about!

Massive sport played and well supported worldwide.

Its a great game,watched by milions and epitomises the gladitorial feats of Olympians of the past

Well simply it is one of the biggest sports of the UK and it would be a great chance to introduce the rest of the world to it. Whether it is 7's or 15's it doesn't matter. This is the chance for Rugby to reach every corner of the globe and it could spark a massive increase in worldwide interest

First and foremost,rugby is the worlds greatest game.How can you not have rugby in the olympics,when you have such "sports" as walking and shooting !!!!! Sort it out and give rugby a shot.

It is the sport of Kings - you need strength, power, determination, skill and fitness. It would be a popular addition to the Olympics.

As a competitive team sport, rugby union (in sevens and fifteen format) is a very popular and entertaining sport, at least as deserving as other sports which are already included such as 'beach volleyball'.

For our children to have something to aim for, as it is a good team sport and great to feel part of a team

Best sport in the World.

Because it is free flowing and the spirit of rugby epitomises the Olympic ideals

Because of the wide participation across countries

7's Rugby is a world wide sport and it's introduction to the games would give smaller nations such as Fiji and opportunity to win a medal
