Answer 1

Answer 2

In league the players have main posession of the ball but in union the ball spends most of its time in the crowd.

Answer 3

ones national, the others within the uk.

Answer 4

League only has 13 players a side compared to 15 in union, also there are no Lineouts in league.

The main difference between the codes is that in league each side is limited to 6 sets of play in trying to score before handing the ball over to the opposing team.

League was a breakaway from union at the turn of the century, so that their players could be paid for playing, while was until recently an amateur game.

Answer 5

leauge is far superior than union..leauge is full on hard hitting as union is for whimps lol all this kick an chase whats it all about

Answer 6

Yes league is the fast contact sport in the world. Players get hammered and get up and play the ball to a colleague and the game goes on. There are 13 players in a league team and four substitutes and there can be 12 interchanges. In union there are are 15 people in a team and 7 substitutes so you can change the entire team.

When a union played is tackled the forwards jump on him and form a ruck or a mall to try and get the ball and the game is painfully slow. There is a lot of injuries in union but relativel;y few in league.

In both game you have to touch the ball down over the try line for a try. In league you get 4 points and union 5 points. If you kich the ball then over the cross bar and between the posts in either game you get two points. If you kick a penalty goal in league you get 2 points and in union 3 points. Adrop goal in league is 1 point and in union 3 points.

Union is a game for forwards fighting over the ball at rucks and mauls and boring to watch with backs kicking it a lot of the time. League is a fast open game with backs and forwards having handling and running skills of similar proportion and provides 80 minutes of none stop action.

I hope that helps.

Answer 7

Rugby Union is a kick and chase game. Rugby League rules!

Answer 8

Rugby League is played by teams of 13 a side. Union is played by teams of 15 a side. Scrums in Union are contested, meaning each side tries to push the other off the ball. In League scrums are un-contested. When the ball goes out of play on the touch/side lines in Union, the game is restarted with a line out. In League it is restarted with a foot tap and pass. In Union, once play has commenced, the game is continuos until a try is scored or an offence is committed. In League, a set of six plays is commenced with the player in possesion heeling the ball between his legs. Each play is ended by a player being tackled and held. If, by the end of six plays, a try has not been scored, the ball is passed over to the opposing team, who in turn commence a set of six plays.

Hope this helps you in begining to understand both games.
