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.

Rugby League and Rugby Union are very similar sports. While some people have a preference for one or the other, anyone who enjoys running, tackling, passing, kicking and physical confrontation should enjoy them both.

Both are regulated as to NOT Exceed 100 meters goal line to goal line with an in goal area of not exceeding 22 metres and a pitch width not exceeding 70 meteres.

therefore it is possible to have pitches in both codes differing in sizes.
