| Quote: Honest Joe "Anyone who thinks RU is a posh or middle class game, so go down to Tyldesley RUFC on a Saturday afternoon. There's room in this world for more than one sport I think. Union is a much different game to League, anyone who went to see the Wigan v Harlequins (I think) game in the 90's or the Saints v Sale game around 8 years ago can see that. One half played League and the half played Union. Union teams won both those games.'"
We (Wigan) played Bath in May 1996. Wigan won the game under league rules 82-6 at Maine Road while Bath won the game under union rules at Twickenham 44-19. |

I may be wrong, but i thought Wigan won one half (the league half, and Quins the union half), but Wigan won overall when the points were added up. |

Youre thinking of the Saints vs Sale game, which Steve Maden played in! |

I went to the Saints v Sale game. It was awful. Also there was a lot of confusion over the timings in which union was played for 50 minutes because they don't stop the clocks in union, so they had to shorten the half of league to keep to schedule.

Wigan hammered Bath in the first cross codes, which was 2 legs.
My brother in law plays for Leigh RU and he's a stuck up tit. |

Don't know about that game mate, but still think i may be right about the Wigan v Quins though, maybe someone will dig the results out.  |

It was close but I don't remember the exact score.
With regard to the Wigan v Bath games, between the game at Maine Road and the game at Twickenham we won the Middlesex 7s and played a couple of league games. |

I've seen RU games far better than RL games and vice versa.
I've seen RU players struggle at league and RL players struggle at Union.
2 different sports as far as I've always been concerned.
I enjoy em both for the entertainment they give away from the day to day job !

If you don't like RU then don't watch it. I have seen 2 games of the WC. The Eng v Arg game was absolute dire and we was lucky. Watched the Wales v S Africa and enjoyed it - Wales very unlucky against the holders.
Its the WC and I want Eng to win it.
