Rugby ( question is in details)?

Question

at club level more people watch rugby league. but at international level more people watch rugby union. why don't they just play at club level rugby league and at international level just play rugby union?

Answer 1

Because people who aren't good enough to play at international level rugby union would have to play club level until they are chosen for a national team. Some people also think League is boring and nothing ever happens (me included). They are two different sports.

Why do some people play soccer instead of playing cricket, I mean more people enjoy cricket? BECAUSE DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIKE TO PLAY DIFFERENT THINGS.

hope that answered your question!

Answer 2

Andy Farrell is an illustration of why not.  You need to play lots of rugby union to get good at it, the skills are very different.  I think the codes will re combine at some point and that will amount to the same thing.
