I have tried and tried to watch Union, but I just find it tedious. Too much kicking, not enough hard running and the amount of times the play disintegrates into a pile of blokes laying in a heap is too much to bear.

Can't fault the RFU though, they have managed to peddle their shoddy wares much better than our lot, so fair play to them.

The only reasons any top RL player would play union are

1. money
2. profile/fame
3. lower impact on body
