Brilliant.

My youngest played in an U8 tournament last weekend. Union Tag unfortunately, but its 5 tags and then a turnover.

Rules sound familiar to anyone.............

Are you for real?

I sometimes don't mind the occasional game of Union - I enjoyed the Lions tours and the Tri-Nations can be good. The Super 14 used to be better. But club level Rugby Union is awful. Truly, truly awful.

Several years ago I was talked into going along to a National League 1 RU club (there was no RL club near me at the time). Without ANY training I was in their thirds and then seconds, at full-back, then centre, and then within 4 games thrown in at fly-half (whatever they do). I'm certainly not the best oval ball handler in the world but the standard was shocking. They REALLY don't like big RL-style hits either.

I would sooner watch amateur Rugby League of any standard than some of the plodding kick, maul & jump-fests the Guinness Premiership and other RU comps serve up. It's terrible.

TBF picking your nose is more entertaining than Super League at the moment. It finished last month and doesn't start again until February

Lovely kid !

That explains the booing of repeated kickathons in yawnion then.
