    I've never known the difference in the rugby types other than there are different numbers in the team? I did kind of think that maybe Union was the pretty boys with nice clean shirts even at the end of the match and League was blokes with flattened noses, gaffer tape round their head, 95% mud covered shirts and blood coming out of their caulifower ears!

    I think you've got them the wrong way round. Union is, I suppose, traditionally a public school boy game, but there is plenty of mud, blood and cauliflower lugs. I always understood league to be more akin to touch rugby - faster, less hitting, less blood.
    26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%
    28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%

    not quite
    league is more one on one collision and probably reguard as the most pyhically demanding and toughest team sport going

    Either is better than football though. Did you see that report saying that drummers are fitter than footballers:rotfl:

    Result. Just took advantage of the fact I'm in the city centre to pop to Next to see what's left of the sale and managed to pick up a pair of trousers for a suit I've already got in a size bigger. As the trousers will sit under the bump as it were, I should be able to wear the suit (jacket unbuttoned natch;) ) until I get mahoosive:j
