The rules of rugby

My biggest complaint about Union has always been its too defensive, look at the world cup final compared to the Super League Grand Final, one was "tense" where as one was very much exciting from whistle to whistle

Yep, at international level that's true; in fact, the world cup isn't much of a showcase for the game; I think too many international coaches 1) do too much coaching, to the point that players don't dare to be creative and 2) are too terrified of losing to take risks and choose the 'safest' players. But go and watch club games at almost any level (don't bother with Old Wobblebellians 5th XV unless you just want a good laugh) and you'll see a lot more attacking rugby.

Only good thing about League is that they do "dressing room cam" better than us (Union).

I've played both actually, but more union. Personally I found union more demanding in terms of strength, especially upper body strength, and anaerobic running, but league required more aerobic fitness because it's non stop movement backward and forward. But then, it would also depend on what position you play. I can't really say one is tougher than the other; both would be physically pretty tough for someone switching codes; it can be done and is often done succesfully, but it requires a shift in training emphasis; basically if a union forward plays league he'll be knackered after 40 minutes of the first few games from all the running, and a league player moving to the forwards in union would be knackered from the shoving and wrestling for the ball. I don't know what 'backs' are for so I can't comment on them or their lovely haircuts.

If you're going to troll union fans, be a bit more subtle, yer big pansy woofter.

Proof example that Rugby Union is for girls, League all the way!

The sport has obviously changed since I last played it. None of my team or the opposition looked anything like this lot.
