What does NRL mean?

Question

how can it be nationial

when NZ has a team in it

Answer 1

New Zealand is an outlying area in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.

On that point why is afl called afl when there is no team from Tasmania?  It can't be national either if teams from all areas are not represented.

Answer 2

Becasue rugby league is played in more then one country. Enough said.

Answer 3

well NRL stands for National Rugby League, and i suppose they include NZ in there nation and also i have to agree.. it shows the league ventures.. unlike the AFL

Answer 4

Dude! Why can't you just appreciate both sports for what they are? If you don't like one, we don't need to hear about it. I like both AFL and NRL, at least respect the other code.

You're not going to get much support on a Rugby League forum if you are only pro AFL. Clean up your act, start asking some real questions.

Answer 5

it shows that rugby league is actually achieving something outside australia.

can i say the same for afl? haha nope.
