The figure is less than 1% world wide. This is because when the game split League paid its players where Union wanted to remain armature. In the late 1970s and early 80's a number of Union code player moved across to the League code. This was because of the money involved in the game. Union in the mid to late 80's saw many of its top names move and forced through the Regional system to make the Union game more attractive and to start paying its players.

∙ 12y agoNone. If anything they go from league to union. But league is crap so it doesn't matter anyway.
... Rugby league is not crap, i play rugby union for a club and in our training we play league. as a second row in union i get many more tries as i am not always in rucks/mauls.
back to the question there are none that i know of, and most players switch from league to union. i havent seen many forwards switch from league to union though, but that's probably me.
Iestyn Harris has switched back to League after a brief unsuccessful stint in Union with Cardiff and the Welsh National side.
Gareth Thomas has recently switched codes to move from Cardiff Blues to Celtic Crusaders.
