As an outsider looking in,could you explain to me the difference between the Rugby League and the Rugby Union.Are you talking England,Australia,New Zealand or what? Being from Canada the only time I get interested in Rugby is at World Cup time time,which I believe is next year if I'm not mistaken.

League is played in australia where i live its also played in most countries union is played in england,new zealand,wales,france,scotland,russia,ireland,usa,tonga,papua new geanea,fiji,.League has 13 on the field where as union has 15. league has no flankers on the scrums.Union also have line outs league doesnt need them.To get a good idea watch a game from australia the competion is the nrl(national rugby league)if you can get it on tv in canada i have heard that league gets some time on us tv.In my opinion the league players dont miss as many tackles as the union girls. they also hit harder and they dont kick the ball back and forwards to each other.And we have state of origen a three game representative series between new south wales and queensland watching an origen game is awesome there is a huge rivalry its brutal.Union in australia could only dream of coming close to origin foot ball any way check out this link ilovefeet www.nrl.com.auPosts: 531 | Registered: Feb 2006

I love Rugby League, of course I support the warriors being a loyal Kiwi, hopefully they'll make the top eight next year, they would have this year but they lost 4 points for breaching the sallary cap.
Who do you support?

Rubin is where he belongs
Him and Price are the reason we lost the 4 points in the first place, I hope they pay us back with a top four finish next season...by the way, I hope the Raiders smash the dogs as well, I hate those pricks.
