Get the wet rugby ball mug.Union: A game that takes balls to play. Gibby is playing it in heaven right now.
If you are part of the pack you fight over the ball every time there is a tackle and make up the entire scrum. Tight (3) or Loose (1), propping always hurts. You get both sides of the scrum squeezing your vertebrae together. 2nd rowers (locks)(4/5) love to grab props nads. Flankers always break off early on the defensive side and make the tackle (6/7). The 8-man is pretty versatile in that he both stops the ball with his feet and does 8-man pickups. He tends to be a large, strong, technically sound player.
The best forward #2- Hooker is an incredibly important and difficult position. They can vary in size from the largest to the smallest player on the team. In every scrum he must either get the ball from the scrumhalf and hook it back with his foot or try to steal it from the other hooker (I love doing that from tighthead). It is the position with the most pressure as well as the most dangerous position if a scrum collapses. (I have had 400 kilos/880 pounds on my neck). Hookers also throw the ball in during lineouts.
If you are a back you can be a pansy and kick it away, be an intelligent back and pass it just as you are tackled, be a manly back and get tackled by a forward who is twice your size, dodge around people and score, or try to imitate Johnny Wilkinson.
There are 7 backs. The Scrumhalf (9) is similar to a quarterback in American Football. It is the scrumhalf's job to toss the ball out at every ruck. They are excellent decision makers. The Flyhalf (10) is usually a good kicker and is the scrumhalf's backup. He is always ready to be the first pass out from the scrumhalf but can be ignored entirely or skipped. The inside and outside centers blend together and are just people who get passed to (12/13). The wingers cover the sides of the field and can also kick.
The best back #15- The Fullback. Possibly the most mentally stressful position. On offense, he melds with the backline and does as much or more than the outside centers.
The last line of defense for the rugby team. Any kick that goes deep into either team's territory will be recovered by the fullback or will be a try. Some fullbacks are more skilled than punt returners in American Football and will break three or four tackles befor going down. If a player breaks a long run and gets passed all the other players, he has a one on one with the fullback. Fullbacks are without question the best tacklers. They never miss.
League: Like union with less players and without rucking, a bit slow. Mainly Aussies (Roosters) and some Kiwis (Warriors)

The fullback caught the ball at the twenty-two and ran it up the touch line to the other twenty-two. As he was tackled he passed the ball to the unmarked hooker who dived in for the try just as five of the other teams players reached him.

The enjoyable version of Rugby, much more exciting and faster than Rugby Union, which is basically a kick-and-rush sport.
Unfortunately in Halifax, we have a Rugby League team who get all the press and money over the local football team and are supported by Bell Ends who diminish the enjoyment of the game for everyone else.

Get the Rugby League mug.A game that is in fact a lot better than football. You run faster, hit harder, have little rest, get punched on a constant basis because the other team that started it thinks your dirty (it's not my fault), and at least in Wisconsin someone gets a concussion a game. Why do pads make it more dangerous? They cushion you and slow the players down a bit. Football has a stoppage every 10 seconds, while Rugby does not.
I speared a guy so hard in Fond du Lac he didn't get up for a few minutes then ran over and tackled another dude. Finally, I ran after some massive forward and said "Aww, Fuck it I am playing rugby". Then I whipped my body at him to slow him down because he was twice my size and could bench press my whole family.

Get the Rugby mug.Name of a band named after the infamous character in the Princess Bride: Count Rugen. The man with 6 fingers on one hand; The man who killed Indigo Montoya's father and who is prepared to die; The man who asked Wesley how he was feeling after using his home-made torture device in the Pit of Despair.
Did you hear Rugen's tune on Myspace? They are the best band out of Tempe, AZ!!

Get the Rugen mug.A rugby union defect. A game in which each team is allowed 6 tackles before turnover and noone ever passes to anyone farther than a feet away from them because it is too "risky". When you get tackled, u must squirm like ur balls just got cut lose. When there is a scrum, the two teams binds with their head hanging in shame. During lineouts...oh wait, what lineout!? After all, rugby is known as RUGBY FOOTBALL, but wait again, leaguers don't know how to kick, hence a 40/20 rule was developed to promote the use of the boot.
To sum it all up, it is so retarded, it might as well be called american football.

Say what!? Those leaguers thinks they can take on the ALL BLACKS...
Leaguers, they have a funny way of saying things, muscle is apparently known as fat over there.
If you see a long spin pass or a drop goal, then it isn't league.
at this rate 'Dem leaguers might as well strapp'on helmets and paddings
the only reason league is getting thumbs up in urb dict is cause those in union have a life and don't waste night and day voting
Rugby league, the game played in hell.

Get the rugby league mug.Rugby is the ultimate test of overall manliness (strenght, speed, power, strategy, character, loyalty).
Unlike in some codes of football (which shall not be named), loyalty towards your teammates is ranked above everything else including personal comfort. Therefore you will not find any players rolling on the grass with their knee in the air because of a chipped nail.
