Quote ="Ferdy"I would agree that League is a better spectacle, I would disagree Union is really boring.
It does put the RL World Cup to shame unfortunately. Not in terms of on field but in terms of support and atmosphere.
It's not just a load of toffs who play and watch it. My old man came from armley and played to a very high standard of RU. I played and watch and I am far from middle class with wads of cash.
Union is a more technical game, which is one of the reasons it's not as easy on the eye to watch.
We certainly have a chip on our shoulders in general in RL when it comes to RU'"
Without trying to argue with you you are right we (and i) do have a bit of a chip on our shoulder.
I played RU under 19s (when I was 15) and league as well. Under 18s league was like a different ball game.
The thing that annoys me about "the rugby world cup" (which was originally league's but we rolled over and gave the name back) is the huge number of non - fans. If you are an RU fan then quite rightly enjoy every minute of it. But if 2 months ago you couldn't give a then why get all excited now?
And to make of even worse they wear a red bloody rose
