A dull game in which 2 chaps compete to see how long they can keep a ball in the air. There are 28 other blokes on the pitch at the same time, they roll around on the floor a lot but as the ball seems incidental to them it has never been made clear if they are part of the game or not. One other strange facet of the game is the bloke who keeps up a constant note on his whistle, presumably in an attempt to distract the 2 chaps keeping the ball in the air.
In France the game is usually played by wife murderers, in Australia by Quokka chuckers and in England by uncoordinated oafs who appear in court a lot.

#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 neck
The 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.
When getting bored watching Rugby Union, entertain yourself by dreaming of a sport where they actually play rugby. See: Rugby League.

The hugely boring and uninteresting version of the rugby codes where all the players could not cut it in its far superior "counterpart", Rugby League.
Nobody gives a fuck about yawn-ion.

A Game that is totally inferior to Rugby League, Union fans are known as Rah Rah's or fucking morons.
Its the only rugby game in the world where you can have a 30 all draw with no fucking tries scored!
