Union, just has a more natural feel to it.

League. Few teams in Union play in a style worth watching, whereas League, due to the absence of Rucks and Mauls, necessitates a more progressive style of rugby.

I dislike the stop-start nature of league, but I guess it's just a thing of what you are used to; I played union at school, never league.

They're both horrible, horrible sports. But out of the two, union.

Doesn't really. 9 times out of 10 a league team's tactics are either the half-backs picking and going or having a 'forward' taking a crash ball from the first receiver. The ball doesn't get spread wide anymore than it does in Union.

Rugby League! Play both but Union is slower and the players arent so skilled with the ball in hand. I also dont like Union that much due to the Union Parasites who think League people are Mungoes or Sub human and make such Bullshit claims that Rugby Union is a global sport-it isnt its played by people in around 10 lands with the sport played elsewhere by Expats mainly. This doesnt make it a global Sport!

Union, by far. League is too start-stop for me.

Granted, it's been 15 years since I saw a league match, so I have no idea if it's changed any...
