|  I don't believe it ..played both codes like anything you put all your effort into the games both hard and still get big hits ..if you get tackled in union and finish under about 7/10 players you feel every breath in your body being draw out as they pile on ..both hard contact sport  |

thing is in union you hardly ever get tackled, when an oppposition player moves in, usually this results in the ball carrier punting the ball as far as he can, mostly in to touch...how boring!!!!!!!!!!

| Quote: Big Dave T "You ever played Union or League?'" union is being made softer though, you can no longer put in big hits, both hands have to be around the player in an attempt to tackle! Pffffft, southern fairies!
Although I did play once and found myself on the wrong side of the ruck, which led to my face being scraped by a size 12 left boot! |

A bit of 'shoe pie' as it is known in some quarters. |

Don't like Union at all, but having seen the recent Lions test matches my thoughts on it being a game for Southern softies has changed somewhat, especially compared to the sterile spectacle that is modern RL. Not enough "biff" in SL now a days. Only one player sent off this year is proof of that. Whilst I want it to be fare I also want to see some raw emotion and agression. Big Jim Mills, Paul Basher Woods et al.
That said I know union players who are in their 50s and still playing. I can't imagine a RL player lasting past his late 30s whatever the standard.

The RU Tri-nations tournaments has moved on their game and is quite watchable.

| The Lions tour saw two tackles. On both Lions players shot out of the line and put the shoulder into the Springboks player chest and both got penalized because you must put your arms around the player when you tackle them
However, you can stamp on a man with studs on his head and get away with it! |
