[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugger, post: 982885, member: 12699"] Hey Gents, Ex-Union Player, Coach in Canada and now a huge League fan because of the Toronto Wolfpack. I personally love both codes for different reasons. I like watching Rugby for the variety but League definitely has superior ball movement and set piece moves due to the nature of the game. It's also faster with what is essentially an entire forward pack consisting of backrow forwards, couple that with the six tackle count and the requirement for the defence to retreat 10m after every tackle and the pace is frenetic. If you are in the USA and want to watch Rugby League, Fox Soccer is your best bet. In Canada it's on Sportsnet World and CBC & Game TV have shown all Toronto Wolfpack games. Top two leagues are Super League in Northern hemisphere which has teams from England, France and now Canada. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's NRL with teams in Australia and NZ. NRL is IMO the best Club Rugby Competition on the planet of either code. As for Toronto Wolfpack, club is doing great. There is a large demand for cheap entertainment in the City and they are filling the void. It also helps that Toronto has a fairly large expat community and an already sizeable Rugby Union population that has also taken to the Toronto Wolfpack. The biggest danger to Toronto Wolfpack is the Northerners pulling up the draw bridge as they are not very welcoming to outsiders. [/QUOTE]
