Why isn't Rugby league much bigger in Ireland? (or Wales and Scotland)

[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 642199, member: 71048"] Sanzar and other Aussies will be able to tell you more, but I once heard this said (cannot rememeber who said it)...Aussies would ban scrums if they could....in other words make Union more like league. The slower, set piece nature of Union is not to their liking as much as the fast free flowing game that is league. I like aspects of both codes...a hybrid of both would be my ideal game. More free flowing running like League, but with Union rules in the tackle. Line out id like gone while the scrum I could leave out (not fussed either way). Union is better with the diagonal attacking/defending lines so theres more room to run...whereas League seems like two straight lines so it gets very congested and so there's less passes. Open up a can of worms here, my own personal belief is the two codes should merge again and combine the best elements of both. [/QUOTE]
