League not Union.

I did watch Invictus

What's difference between league and union ?

Union is boring as hell. league is non stop action. Watch the highlights I put up. Union is a kick-a-thon. League is the running and get smashed game.

Playing League i've dislocated my shoulder, broke my hand, broke my foot, injured my knee and torn my groin. It's the toughest sport to play.

I agree about that, we don't need no pads or helmets

Can you imagine if the crazy freakish atheletes in the NFL did that shit? Would result in a few deaths. Men that size moving that fast with no pads? Not enough money in the world to step on that field.

You get a pair of shorts, a shirt, socks and boots and that's all. Also, same players for offense and defense and no stopping of play between the 2.

They wouldn't have the cardio to play league. They'd be dead tired in 5min. Also, League players aren't jacked up on roids.

Good point about the cardio...but there are freakish atheletes out there with no roids. Just like NFL players couldn't have cardio for soccer. Even without roids those freaks of nature are bigger, stronger and faster.

Our biggest guys are about 270 pounds. Anyone over that would get killed by the smaller guys running around them. Especially in the 2nd half when they'd be too tired.

I agree the cardio is a big thing. But some of those 300lbs NFL guys could still catch those smaller rugby guys in the short distance. Rugby has never seen a freak like some of the DE in the NFL.

I agree the NFL has better athletes but that's because they are built for a sprint not a marathon. Our best players make about 40 tackles a game and still run the ball up between 15-20 times a game with only the halftime as a break in an 80 min game.

Football(American Football) players could never dream of that kind of cardio. Just like most don't realize how much cardio it takes to run for 45 min straight in soccer.

I do not, but a good friend of mine is a huge rugby guy, he plays in leagues and shit, I'll check out the wallabies ever once in a while.

Wallabies are union. It's a completly different game. Watch the highlights I put up. League is x100 better.
