That was a fantastic game between Lions and SA as was the 1st test. Can't wait for the 3rd test.


Union is slowly killing RL and unfortunately its due to the way SL is alienating the hard core support.

I have played both codes. Union is the better game to play cos you can express yourself more whereas in League the only room to manouvre is the room you make for yourself and then you get battered. There's no place to hide. But Union is a very good game to watch now mainly due to the influnce of RL...ie: Shaun Edwards, Joe Lydon etc...

Rugby League days are numbered unless they listen to the hardcore support in the North.


You love me really :O)

hmm, lets see, who would i rather watch


shane tronc destroying defences, or the little fat chap with the long hair from wales?

Have played both codes myself and yes i would rather play Union as there are more openings at amature level, there isnt as much kicking and there are plenty of tries but when it comes to watching it League wins everytime but if the RFL keeps trying to gets teams from all corners of Europe to join our leagues, we'll soon find tendences dropping and then Sky will bin it off start making Union even bigger

I don't think Union is killing league, as a spectacle its starting to catch up (and in some cases be better than) league.

I think the RFL's current policys are killing league (certainly outside of SL).

Whilst the game wants to expand I feel the arrogant way that it has gone about it (and the total disrespect it has shown its clubs and supporters outside SL) has only fuelled the notion that Lewis and co are chasing RU's areas and are obsessive of expanding.

The RFL need to retain support to expand and build the game strongly, I don't think its doing this , this current (part time ? ) RFL governing body does seem to be one of "lets do what we think a minority TV channel wants us to do" rather than be a proper leader and progressor of the sport.

Two differnent games, neither will destroy the other. Both are actually expanding and attendanaces are growing. No debate really!

dont kno how i have managed to put my reply in the other post above

Union is bloody awful, lions my ar[is[/ie half of them would struggle in the championship.

Should n`t this be O/T...

Get this. On Radio 5 this morning two areas that thr RFU are looking at, to make the game more open and faster are reducing the players on the field to thirteen and getting rid of "line outs". A while ago ( and I know I have said it before) there was an article in the Guardian sport section that was a vision (a fictiscious one all the same) that one day there would only one code which was just called "Rugby". Its coming And I hope it takes over from tat round ball rubish.
