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.
