OK I admit to probably being the only Union fan on here...I'm not posh either. Far from it, I often say damn and blast.

I was gutted England lost and I also felt for Wales at the weekend.

Anyway my love of union does not detract from my love of league.

How funny was it watching England RU?

Not as funny as it was when they won the competition only 8 years ago, and appear in the final 4 years later.

Compare that to England RL's record of ...........never winning the World Cup! (Yes, GB some 40 years ago!)

Don't feel threatened by Union, it's not the enemy. ANYTHING English gets my backing. Call yourself an Englishman?

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg

No. I'm a Northerner. And after that, a European.

Not really no, If Yorkshire could go for independance then maybe I could get a bit patriotic.

If England entered a dwarf throwing team would you follow them? (actually, thinking about it, it would be far more entertaining than watching old Jonny boy attempt his 12th drop goal of the game).

i want England RU to win games, but dont get upset if they dont! The only way england ever score points is penalties! When they won the world cup, how many tries did they score?

Quote: Phil O'Stein "Everytime I've watched Sevens there seems to be little emphasis on kicking and a lot of priority on ball running and possession rather than territory. I actually find it the one derivative of yawnion that I can watch as there's only the occasional line-out and little in the way of kicking.

I think I once read that Super 13s is the halfway house between 7s and Union. Never watched it myself as it's only contested by Teams from Oz, NZ and SA, so far as I understand.

Edit

Though it was Super 14's and that was the amount of teams in the league? Its still Union. Its their Rugby Union Competition.

They tried doing it in this country with the tops teams from the 4 home nations competing in a kind of "champions league" competition. All countries were up for it except for.... You guessed t England. They wanted a bigger share of TV money and the like. England stuck with their own league and the others formed the gaelic league to compete against each other.

I think we are seeing the benefits of this higher level of competition for the other home nations teams with their improvements this year.
