The difference between rugby league and rugby union players?
rugby union have different levels of fitness as some of them are fast runners but not very strong where as some are strong but not very fast. in rugby league all the players are trained to be fast as it is a faster moving game and rugby league is more energetic and more exciting than rugby union _____________________________________________________________________ I believe the above is biased. Rugby Union ("Rugby") is really a team divided in 2, the forwards and the back and while Rugby League ("League") also has forwards and backs, the forwards play an altered role, being of less overall intensity as a group. Forwards in Rugby tend to be bigger and more powerful and agreed, often not as quick. League, a faster moving game? What planet did this answer come from? In League, every time a player is tacked, the game stops, wheras in Rugby, when a player is tacked he must released the ball and the play continues unstopped. Rarely does a League phase last more than 10-20 seconds before play stops, whereas a Rugby series of unstopped phases may last severeral minutes, requiring an extremely high level of fitness. In addition, Rugby has 2 extra players revolving arount the scrum (totalling 15 against Leagues 13). These players, Flankers or Breakaways are usually adept at 'pilfering' of extracting the ball from the opposing team during a ruck and maul.

Why differences in rugby league and rugby union?
There are many differences from rugby league and rugby union. Rugby league is predominantly a running game, each team has possession until they are tackled [taken to the ground] 5 times, after this possession is turned over to the opposition. On the fifth play the team in possession usually kicks for good field position when the opposition attacks, quite like in 'American' Football. In Rugby union there are far more rules and regulations. In union the attacking team stays in possession until they commit a foul, this can be in the form of a knock forward, accidental offside, not realeasing the ball on the ground, coming in from the side, playing the ball on the ground, not staying on your feet in the rook, etc. The defending team may also turn over the ball in a rook or maul or may intercept a pass, providing they are on side. Alternatively the attacking team can kick for good field position or a line-out, line outs are not found in rugby league. Apart from the same positions and player numbers and the basic rule that the ball cannot be passed forward, there are very few similarities between league and union.
