[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 981023, member: 34990"] I played league through uni - I think it's far better to play than it is to watch (haven't watched it at pro level in years, think it's dull as dishwater), especially at the lower levels. Social-level rugby union can be dire, as a back, to play. I think, given a proper push (which won't ever happen cause there's no money in the sport), League could do quite well in America. Following the phases is easier to follow for Gridiron fans than trying to decipher rucks and scrums, and I think lads brought up playing American football would transition across to League better than they do union (much like how they tend to do better at 7s than XVs). We had a few American football players on our league side at uni and they were quality crash ball players [/QUOTE]
