A bad league game was always better than a bad union game due to the latter's stop start nature caused by complex penalty decisions at scrums and rucks. However I think a good union game is better than a good league game - classic union tries seem more intricate than classic league tries.Olthwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046658922296569064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23937101.post-83406930632462132752007-11-27T13:35:00.000+00:002007-11-27T13:35:00.000+00:00Rugby League or Rugby Union?

However I do admit that internationally Rugby League needs some work so Rugby Union has that on its side but what about the game itself?<BR/>It seems that Rugby Union is just a collection of dog piles most of the time followed by short lived runs which either involve running straight into the other teams players or scoring the odd try, WHY!? <BR/>In Rugby League I can see the point in running straight into your opponent as you have to make some ground only having six tackles to do it but in Union, its just a way of losing the ball! Fools! <BR/>I mean I like doing a little Rugby League Betting every other week but when it comes to Rugby Union, its just boring! KICK! THERE INFRONT! KICK! THERE BEHIND!! KICK THERE INFRONT AGAIN!!! OH NO WAIT!! THERE BEHIND AGAIN! RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!!<BR/>Anyway I’ll stop my rant here and give someone else say what they think!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
