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.
