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.

or *nion (vulg.)
28 fat blokes watching two other blokes engage in a kicking contest. A generally unwatchable sport where progress is made either: a) by kicking the ball out of the playing area or b) by goading the opposition into conceding a penalty due to an unwitting infringement of one of the many obscure laws (see 'he's gone in the wrong side').
When the two 'kickers' are not engaged in exchanging hoofs into the stand, the 28 fat blokes are called upon to pile onto the ball to prevent its progress up the field. This is called either a 'ruck'; a 'maul' or '28 fat blokes in a heap'.
Games of rugby *nion are settled by which team has the best kicker. Occasionally a 'try' may be scored - but they are so rare that their value has been increased in order to encourage players to pursue that route to victory.
But as try-scoring requires fitness and handling skills, the sport prefers the kicking option to settle contests. (see also 'drop goal' - one bloke kicking while 29 watch). On the rare occasion that a try is achieved, 14 fat blokes pushing another bloke under a pile of bodies from 1 yard is considered a specimen of the type.
Generally considered: a) inferior to Rugby League in terms of skill, fitness and excitement; b) the preferred game of chinless wonders and old Rugby League players who can't hack it any more and c) the spectator sport of bandwagon-jumping twats who don't support any club and don't know any better (see 'Inverdale').
Inf. *nion - 'a pile of unwatchable shite'.

Inferior sport to rugby league. Aparently points are scored by goal kickers (one to a team of fifteen). Imagines that one day it will be bigger than soccer.
Generally played by those educated at Public (ie private) schools.
Much over rated by the british media.Most of whom went to said schools.

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!

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
