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.

Get the Rugby Union mug.A very fun sport, kind of like football but with no pads, tighter rules on tackles, no blocking, and no forward passes. for some reason rugby fans repeatedly hate on american football and say that its a pussy sport and involves no skill, despite the fact that pretty much all american football fans show the sport of rugby respect and never hate because rugby is a very complicated and difficult sport.

Get the rugby mug.A game played by people that have most likely never picked up and read a book in their lives.
The game involves a number of hot and sweaty man grabbing each other and rolling around in the mud; despite this, rugby players are often very homophobic.
If you ever see a rugby player, it is a good idea to run away as there is a risk that he will 1) take his clothes off and put his 'gentleman's sausage' very close to your face, or, 2) grab you by the head and punch you until you vomit out your own small intestine and pass out in the street. It is safe to say that if you are attacked in any way by a rugby player nobody will help - reason: rugby players are scary as hell.
Many argue that rugby should be made illegal in school PE lessons, but if there was no violent sport to keep bullies distracted, they would most likely just attack all the nerds whilst they are playing chess or reading books.

Guy 1: "Hey man, want to go roll around in the mud and get all sweaty and then sexually harass some nerds?"
Guy 2: "No way man, why would I want to do that?!"
Guy 1: "Because it's rugby!"
Guy 2: "Oh, OK. Now it's not weird at all!"
