Well, I reckon Union is a better game, having never seen any NFL game or knowing absolutely nothing about it and therefore not being able to be proved wrong. But they still do use their hands, and the ball is kinda an egg shape. So...

but there's a lot more kicking in Rugby (for the purposes of this discussion and, well- life in general- Rugby refers to Rugby Union... League is not a sport), and that kicking is more than just converting try's- the kicking is a vital tactical part of the game...

Yes, but running with the ball in your hands is not involved at all in football, is it?

I suggest Union should be called Handeggkick.

Or, you know, we could just call it Union.

It's technically called a rugby "ball" even though its an egg shape. I have though found that yelling out "PASS ME THE EGG" gets you some strange looks.

Yelling that out in a game of rugby, or just in the street? Because I could understand the weird looks in the street.

Why are so many Union fans so pretentious?
Is it due to the demographic with which the sport is popular or are there other factors?

Pretentious? Are we talking about the same people?

I think he means that you said League isn't a sport, when clearly it is, and you're just being snobby because you prefer Union.

Ok, so Rugby league is a sport- in the same way that American Wrestling is, you know, predetermined story lines etc...
