Rugby and the Olympics

[ktheodos]

So...how many people watch or play this sport?? I've actually seen it on tv a little bit lately, which has been cool!! I also just heard about how it's now going to be part of the 2016 olympics, along with Golf (decided in 2009)...what are people's thoughts on that (considering baseball and other sports were turned down)?? Do people like the sports in the olympics so far or what?? BTW, I'm excited that next year is another Olympic year (London).

I think Rugby will be a good Olympic sport. i like any sports where there are no judges and the best team/athlete wins. The judges are the only thing wrong witht he olympics.

I watched the rugby sevens on TV this past weekend.  It's the first time I've ever seen rugby on TV or in person.  It's fascinating to watch, so fast moving.  I really enjoyed it and I'm glad it's going to be an Olympics sport again.  I'm anxious to watch a women's rugby match now.
