| Union is a more patient game, league is faster and more entertaining.
Me personally cant see the appeal in union, its boring 
All they do is kick and chase 
But thats just my opinion, im not biased or anything |

| Quote Quadrivium="Quadrivium"I enjoy watching RU - though it`s restricted to England and Sale Sharks -why do RL fans feel the need to slag it off all the time it`s never done us any harm and provided us with great players like John Bevan and Jonathan Davies -why don`t we just grow up and research why RU games get more support and media coverage ...'"
"it's(sic) never done us any harm"
that has to be the most mis-informed statement I have ever read on this message-board of mis-informed statements.
I suggest you might take the time to read David Hinchcliffe's wonderful book Rugby's Class War and re-consider your view. It will also assist in understanding why rugby union receives much more media coverage. |

This is one of the main problems as it links to crowds and sponsors! |

I read the post from Quadrivium and wondered how long it would take PY to respond.
Quad...you are living with blinkers on! It was'nt that along ago that Jonathan Davies was not allowed into a RU ground to commentate because he dared to play for the poorer code! |

He's right though.
I hate Rugby Union, it bores me to death. The two sports are directly comparable and union fails majestically to be any where near as good. |

Are league fans en masse political when it suits them? Highlighting the RL/RU class divide and bemoaning union media coverage that largely stems from the "old school tie" brigade in the right wing national press, but then happily singing "God Save The Queen" at internationals and cup finals.

What a load of rubbish.
There is nothing right wing in being patriotic. It is the hijacking of the God Save the Queen and the Union Jack by right wing political groups that we should protest against. This country was built on the blood and sweat of the working classes. |

i can't watch it for 2 reasons
a- it's incredibly tedious
b-ruddy faced oxbridge types singing "swing lo"
yes just remembered there was a third reason,stuart barnes face at half time,he needs a good shoeing,oh yes the forward passes as well.
at the end of the day it's a different code of rugby and it's a case of whatever floats your boat.

I was thinking that. It was used as a substitution for "it has" in the case quoted and correct. |
