Rugby Petition is nearing 50,000 signatures...is yours one of them???

The IOC (International Olympic Committee), met in June 2009 to discuss potential new sports to be included in the 2016 summer games. RUGBY is one of the sports fighting for 1 of the 2 slots available.

In October 2009, the big wigs will meet in Copenhagen where the decision will be made as to which two sports will fill the two vacant slots.

Join the Olympic Rugby Movement by going to www.Olympic-rugby.org where you can sign the petition showing your support for RUGBY 7's in the 2016 summer games.

In addition, I came across an interesting article stating the IRB is willing to sacrafice the Rugby 7s World Cup (including $20 million in revenue) for the possibility of seeing rugby played @ the 2016 summer games. Read more here: http://www.sportsjournalists.co.uk/blog/?p=1870
