| The point I was trying to make was that I wouldn’t think RU props would play, they would be the players dropped and a 6 man scrum without RU props would have a far less force than an RU scrum, It would be RU second rowers, fronting up against RL props in the scrum. RU would likely still have the advantage, but I wouldn’t think the danger would be all that present.
With regards to tackling, in RL there are one of two aims, to win the collision and to control the ruck. There is also a lot more focus on stopping the offload. In RU it is focussed on body position of the tackled player and making sure the tacklers body position is right, players almost drop to the ground once in contact in RU because it gets a faster turnover. The difference I would see is the man-to-man defence of an RL player is much much more important and that’s where an RU player would struggle.

| It is just a money making publicity stunt.
Both codes know their strengths and to try and pretend that either on was playing the other game effectively is pure folly.
League players are not equpped to play union and would struggle in line outs, rucking, mauling and as mentioned, scrums would have to be uncontested.
Union frowards cannot play the type of rugby that is played in SL and without the endless stoppages that occur in the 15 a side game, again the forwards would be knackered.
Not to mentioon the 10 metres that we have in league, which doesn't exist in union.
Supporters of both codes think that their game is better (and more skillfull than the other) and there are of course some players that can make the transition but, what the heck does a game like this achieve.

| leeds would be much better off doing something to promote our sport. E.g. something along the lines of Melbourne's trip to play the USA in New York.

| I don't have a problem with it to be fair. As has been said, if it raises the profile of the game then it's should be given a go.
