[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 751496, member: 12207"] Massively. It's partially a class thing sadly; Rugby League is accessible for people people of all backgrounds, meaning that the indigenous kids pick it up in places like Sydney and Queensland. But sadly indigenous people aren't that well represented in the middle to upper classes, and so just don't get exposed to Union as much. Heck, even at public (i.e. free/gov if you're a pom) schools that play Union (I went to one) they tend to be in areas where there aren't too many indigenous people. [/QUOTE]
