Dnt like rugby that much but Rugby league makes me feel even more lost :S. Can u explain the difference please Dan.

[dancity2890]

lol. basically mate, league has 13 players, union has 15. union has more set pieces ie, lineouts, more emphasised scrums. rugby league is a basic set of six tackles followed by a turnover if tackled to ground on the fifth taclke, union is more of a kicking game to make ground whereas league is more of a running game if that makes sense mate
