Both league and union still are considered the poor relation in the world of sports. However, they are both increasing in audience appeal and with the RWC next yer it will be a highlight period . Sadly smaller clubs are never represented in the media in comparison to soccer.
League gains approximately the same media time as union
Much better than boring Union.
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.
It depends, what sort of Rugby do you mean? League or Union?
Participation rates of Rugby League in Australia is very high, roughly same about how much people play rugby union in France or England.
union is 3 points league is 2
The Scottish Rugby Union represents the players rights and makes sure that the Rugby Players are always treated fairly and equally. The Union gives the player a piece of mind so they can play and not to have to worry about as much about these issues.
it ranges between 30 and 100,000 pounds per week
In a normal game of rugby union, there are fifteen players and around 5-7 reserves. The forwards are numbered 1-8 and the backs are numbered 9-15. In professional games (National sides, etc.) there are more reserves, but the game is much the same.
Fullback most likely, they pretty much do the same job
Rugby Union would not mathmatically be considered a fair game as it can be won by playing tactically. "A game in which a given player can always win by playing correctly is therefore called an unfair game".It is widely known that rugby can be played tactically, one tactic maybe to pick much larger and faster players than the other team thus creating and unfair game.
South Africa's three most popular sports are soccer, rugby and cricket. Soccer (association football) is still by far the most popular sport among the black population groups as rugby (rugby union) is among the whites, but much is done to try to ensure that these preferences are broadened.
