O_Town_Clown Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 [hijack]From what I understand, Rugby League is popular in Northern England, and Australia. Union is popular everywhere else. Is this accurate, or am I way off? Basically, I'm just curious about which of the two codes is most popular and where.[/hijack]EDIT: My apologies for the hijack.

WelshSteeler Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Union is popular everywhere else.As in parts of Wales,Scotland,Ireland,the West of England,New Zealand and white South Africa?Rugby League is the #2 spectator sport in England and Wales has just got it's first Super League franchise - the Celtic Crusaders.

heernumurr Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 In terms of attendance League is probably more popular than Union, but outside of the north of England Union is the more popular code. There is next to no interest in Scotland and Ireland, and in Wales Union will always be better supported. In England, while the Super League may have better attendance than the Premiership, it can't claim to capture the public's attention as much as the national team in the Six Nations.And they're not too happy about that Crusaders franchise up here...

I expect them to beat Italy and Scotland, and hopefully they can beat England, but other then that a 3rd or 4th place finish seems to be in the cards for them.

FiddySicks Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Although I absolutely love playing rugby, I find it to be so confusing that it's nearly impossible to attentively watch. Although, playing it is just as confusing most of the time. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

WelshSteeler Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Then why would you spend time responding to a thread about a sport you hate?.Because where I live I have to put up with the media BS about this minor pastime every fraking day and here I thought I'd be free from it.
