Thank you
rugby union used to be an olympic sport....but we are talking about almost a century ago. And funny enough the reigning rugby union gold medal holders....

I do know that rugby has been explored as a possible developing olympic sport, but given the intensity of the matches, and the length...the possibility of Rugby 7s has been highly touted.
7s would be a great choice for the olympics because unlike the union code where the 6 nations/tri-nations dominate the world cup....7s is a more egalitarian code where even smaller nations regularly compete on the global stage with the traditional powers. And with the reduced time of the matches, and high scoring typical of 7s...makes it a great choice for the olympics
