er....re-read what I posted.
The troll called it "Rugby".......unless you live in Eatern Australia or along the M62, that generic term refers to Union. I actually refer to the game I follow as Rugby League, stressing the League part......it's even on my CV as Rugby League.

| Quote: joedynamo "Humbly disagree...in my experience, having lived outside the 'Heartlands' since 1994 and despite claims from the self styled 'governing body of the game of rugby union in England', the most common reaction to a statement of I play/ watch/ support Rugby is......which one.
Its only the unionites who get hot and botherd over the use of the word Rugby...Im surprised our friends in the SH dont make more use of it
Where I come from (London), if you said Rugby, we'd think you meant Union.
Like if you went to Melbourne and said I'm going to watch the footy, they think you'd mean Aussie Rules. If you said it in Sydney, they'd think RL.
But, in "your"experience" it's different apparently. So how can we argue? Trivial discussion again, and another waste of typing.

Cool, so in effect you agree that the term 'Rugby' does indeed refer to both League and Union.

icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

Yes, dependent on location, generally, yes.
Quote: joedynamo "Dont be so hard on yerself bud, your posts arent that bad...they allus make me laugh!'" Very droll. You'd argue with yourself if you knew you'd win. I, on the other hand, will not argue with you.
