can’t tell the difference between the two, both a bit shyte if you ask me
14 April, 2008 at 10:23 pm #325801what he said ^
14 April, 2008 at 11:13 pm #325802I really wanna see our changing room…. apparantly the spa is awsome… and they dive in before and after the match. 8)
I reckon though if we dismantled it and sold it on Ugo’s booty we might be able to afford more than ONE player in the summer… :twisted:
15 April, 2008 at 12:10 am #325803anybody know what shaz is on about?
15 April, 2008 at 6:03 am #325804Rugby League because……its quicker,faster,fitter game,
Rugby Union is known as kick n clap near me
get the ball kick it everyone claps.
15 April, 2008 at 8:13 am #325805I agree Lancs i think Union is alot more of a powerful macho type game but the constant scrums and line outs do my ti ts in where they are more incidental part of league, also with league if there is major outclassing at least there is the 6 tackle rule rather than being unlimited, i think league is far more interesting to watch on the sport side, but those thighs and butts in the scrum have an appeal too lol ;)
15 April, 2008 at 5:31 pm #325806not being a thigh/butt connoisseur i,m afraid i,ll have to limit myself to sporting personal preference.But hey whatever floats your boat Poli.
:) :lol:15 April, 2008 at 11:19 pm #325807Well.. more of a Union tradition here in Ireland.
I could never really get the hang of League :roll:
Despite the obvious spectator advantages of it’s pace and fluidity, I do find the lack of any real form of scrum or line-out a tad.. oh I dunno.. ineffectual.
Shoot me but I do find Union a more aggressive and territorial affair.. although there seems to be less open play, it is nevertheless contested – allowing possession to be won and lost. League lacks that with the whole six tackle scenario I feel.I’m a tad biased due to playing some Union :P .. but I will say that a bad Rugby Union match is REALLY bad compared to it’s League counterpart. It can be pure drudgery.. whereas League almost always produces something.
15 April, 2008 at 11:46 pm #325808Mostly agree with pepps, but then suvverners never really did get League. To us it’s a bunch of blokes running in straight lines til they get knocked over, get back up and run again… infinitum. And if you break the defence in League you tend to just run half a mile to touch down under the posts. The scrums are terribly messy and have no cohesion either.
Not a great Rugby fan per se… but Union all the way for me.
