Rugby Union is alot bigger everywhere. The only places they seem to play it is Australia and northern England. Rugby union is a much better sport anyway. Rugby Union is more popular than Rugby League because Rugby Union is much older than League. Rugby Union players get much more than League players and union is played in more places than league. I recon League is much better than union.
South Africa, rarely play Rugby League because soccer and union are very popular over there, but Rugby League is increasing with the fans.
rugby league is where play cannot carry on every time a man gets taken to the floor you must put the ball through your legs for another player to pass it. rugby union is where play is fluent with rucks and mauls
