[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 721013, member: 12207"] I don't think it fits the Olympics - much like it being pretty pointless having soccer in there. Soccer has the benefit of being able to be played without much turn-around due to its low contact nature (read: game for pussies), so they can do it, but it shouldn't be there given how much other international stuff they have. Rugby doesn't need to be in the Olympics in its full XV a side form - having the 7s is enough and is a better fit to the format of the Olympics frankly. [/QUOTE]
