Answer 6

Each team has 13 players and four substitutes, although they are allowed to interchange more frequently than Rugby Union players.

Answer 7

Each Rugby League team has 13 players & 4 substitutes available at any time in the game. Each team is made up of 7 'backs' and 6 'forwards'. The backs are generally regarded as the attacking players and usually have more pace than the bigger more powerful forwards who are usually the 'yard' makers.

There are no flankers in Rugby league & the position names are slightly different as well.  The number 8 in union is called loose forward in League. The outside half in Union is called stand off in League.

Rugby League Positions:

Forwards

8. Prop, 9. Hooker, 10. Prop, 11. Second Row, 12. Second Row

13. Loose Forward

Backs

1. Full Back, 2. Right Wing, 3. Centre, 4. Centre, 5. Left Wing, 6.

7. Scrum Half, 6. Stand off.
