Rugby Union
#The game of the intelligent man#Union is a far more technical game with
scrums... yes real scrums where the ball is put down the middle were both teams can
get at it and the massive physical contact and the skill such as
borin come in to play. positions such as prop and hooker
carnt be played by any one as if an
untrained person would play the position that person would undoubtable brake his neckThe reason being that
average weight per forward is about 17 stone and there are 8 forwards so x together =
136 stone... and thats one side of the scrum now add both sides this ='s 272 stone..... and all that pressure on 6 guys necks. Another element of union that league does not have is line outs. where both teams forwards oppose each other to gain the ball. again there are technical skills which
league players do not have such as lifting, or throwing the ball accuratly in
to the line.Now the 'league lot' say there is far too much kicking in union but the fact is in union u know that u will get the ball back so players will try risky moves to attempt to score a try(5points). In league the players are so terrified to try somthing new and exciting, they just run at each other and once they are tackled they
wriggle around on the floor and hope the ref will see them and take pitty and give them 6 more precious tackles.Where as in union if a player is tackled the team must fight to retain possesion and a
ruck or maul is formedand then play resumes.The game of league the players are physically fit but only because they are constantle running away from the ball. In union the physical contact is so much higher than in league and the only reason there is more violence in league is that it is played by scum who only play the sport to bully other ppl(if you desire to injure some 1 go out and pick a fight... oh yes u
allready do!)Another difference in the two games is the passion, such as
in the six nations in
rugby union where the best players represent there country and fight for victory also the heiniken cup these specticals make for fantastic viewing.there are also 7's and
10's games which are alot similar to league in the way you try and retain the ball by not going in to contact.In conclusion i would like to say that union is better than league. i have played both union amd league and find leage a game for girls that complain if they are held on the ground for more than a second.

Rugby union, commonly known simply as rugby, is a close-contact team
sport that originated in England in the first half of the 19th century. One of the two codes of rugby football, it is based on running with the ball in hand. In its most common form, a game is played between two teams of 15 players each, using an oval-shaped
ball on a rectangular field called a pitch. The field has H-shaped goalposts at both ends.

Game in which 2 teams of 15 men spend 80 minutes grinding their faces into the floor oblivious to the fact a ball is even on the pitch. A game first depicted in
cave paintings depicting cavemen grappling over the last moose skull. A sport adored by posh people who for some reason appreciate the sight of 30 men slowly moving around the pitch in a muddy heap for 80 minutes. Many rugby union players have faces sponsored by
King Edward Potatoes and arses sponsored by
Eton College. Any action which could be described as remotely athletic is rarely seen in Rugby Union.

Example:
A game commonly played to infront of one man and his dog at club level, and 900,000,000 at international level.
The only game in the world where a team can score no tries but still win against a team that has run in three or four if they kick enough goals.
Complete and
utter shite. A game where 15 men from
Harrow play against 15 men from Eton and barely touch each other yet look as ugly as Elton John.
A game supported by inbreds who are liable to burst into two choruses of "
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" but fail to carry on as they don't know the rest of the song

A boring, low-scoring game played by drunken louts. The players often abuse women sexually. See retards
NRL is an unpopular sport in Australia because
AFL is the national sport. When will they learn that their code is crap?

One of the best games, no it aint a shit version of league, without it there would be no
rugby league :)...I do enjoy both games and play but
Union does have that extra
thrill to it when played.
Example:
Dipshit:
Rugby Union is shit, its a rip off of league.
Me:
Fuck yourself Union is basically the father of league, withou it there would be no league.
Dipshit: But league came 1st.
Me: ***sigh***
