Rugby league is the professional code of rugby football, and Rugby is a town in Warwickshire. with a famous public school where the game developed. The main differences between rugby league football and rugby union football is that the principal rugby league teams are professional athletes instead of amateurs (albeit rugby union has some semi-professionals). The focus is more on running with the ball and scoring tries, instead of set pieces and kicking. There is almost no kicking in rugby league. You only have 5 tackles of passing and then you must kick over to other time. In rugby union you can kick to the corners downfield and you can have as many phases as you like when controlling the ball. There is a lot more kicking in the union game. League is really just passing. In league a try is 4 point while unions try is 5

Both codes of Rugby (League and Union) have their origins when a soccer player picked up the ball from the ground and started running with the ball. -- It was claimed to have been born when a 15 year old William Webb-Ellis a student of Rugby School, Warwickshire in England, whilst playing football picked up the ball and ran with it. The game was thereafter developed. Rugby League (a picture of which is above) is a separate sport from Rugby Union that was formed in 1895.
