| rlLee Byrne interview in Guardianrl
You started off playing dual-code rugby, also turning out for Bridgend Blue Bulls. Which is harder?
The league players won't agree but in union you've got more skills, the lineout, the scrums and so on, the kicking, so I'd definitely go for rugby union.
Are you saying rugby league is just running in a straight line?
No. There's a lot more than that. There's certain angles you have to hit. But there is more to think about in rugby union.
What about the super-fitness of rugby league players. Is it a myth?
I don't think it's much different. They're training themselves to run through brick walls, but union players you're probably covering a bit more ground.

They have just done a piece on The rugby club on Manchester saying how they lost there finacial backer and most of there playing and coaching staff at the end of last season so they promoted their colts side to the first team this season. Which explains there season so far, But the main part of it was that they had a training session with Lions coach Ian Meechan this week so we will see how well they go when they play Cinderford away tomorrow.

so amateur regional rugby league isnt much different from professional international rugby union
sounds about right

Err, what happened in the two they didn't lose, if they didn't win or draw any games?

| And to think they gave him a knighthood.
To be honest this whole 'poor Manchester' thing is wearing a bit thin.
They're crap, albeit due to certain circumstances, and the best thing that coul happen to them is relegation to a division where they stand a chance of being competitive.

i assume you mean - why do it ?as opposed to why investigate?

Noticed a french prop got a 70 something week ban for it a couple of weeks ago - it seems to be becoming more prevalent - bring life bans in.

That 148-0 scoreline is huge, but the world record was in the French 3rd Division: Lavardac 350-0 Vergt in 1984. In England it's Norwich 177-3 Eccles & Attleborough.
