Just wondering if there was anyone out there that watched rugby league. Union is good to watch at international level but with league any game be it amateur or semi pro or professional, is fun to watch always having big hits and trys not just kicking. Not having a go at union, just been raised with nothing other than league. Which game do you prefer and why?

which would you prefer to play though? To be honest i dont mind watching union every now and again, but playing, it has to be league, nothing like one on one smashes. Love it

League is my thing. I like watching union now and then, but definitely playing league is for me.

Union, but probably because it is more a forwards game, and I was trained as a forward. Plus, I'm a sh*tty open-field tackler. :-/

Union...I don't like the lack of competition for the ball at breakdowns.

However, Ilike the big hits in League, and will admit to being biased as I am a RFU referee.

Union as preference to play. Follow both in UK and in Australia. Go Wales ! Go Titans !

Same answer for me, but not so much a bad open-field tackler. Rugby League is like watching 7s with too many people.

I prefer watching league because it's quicker. While union is great to watch when it's flowing, it gets annoying when a player falls over and then there is a 10 minute break while they all get some sort of medical attention and have a drink and a little chit-chat.
