The time that the ball is in play in Union is 25-30 mins.
In League it's around 60-70mins.

And this quote sums up exactly what union is,rubbish.

It's difficult to compare RU and RL, they are so different; it's like comparing Test cricket with Twenty20.

RL has taken the parts of the game which excite; such as running with the ball and big hits/tackles, and made them the focus of the game.

RU has taken the technical and strategic parts of the game; such as the contest for possession at scrum, lineout and the breakdown, and made them the focus.

Some people will always prefer RL, some RU, and some, like me, enjoy both codes.

Tell me about it,you made me laugh when you said a certain union player is the best rugby player you have seen of any code,who was it now nick.

The best comment I've heard about Rugby Union came from a flat capped owd codger at Barrow a few years ago. When asked about Rugby Union he replied, "It's the only game I know where the crowd handle the ball more than the players".
He knew his rugby did that owd codger.

Michael Jones .................. the best all round rugby player I've ever seen.

I have finally realised you are heading for the asylum.

In terms of ru converts Ray Price, Mr Perpetual Motion, gets my vote.

You know exactly who I think the best rugby player of any code or any era is,can you name him nick.
