I'm expecting the papers to declare tomorrow's public holiday a day of mourning in the south east, after all the grand final loses we had these last 2 days. Is 0 from 4 just bad luck?

Also, league hookers do most of the stuff a union halfback/scrumhalf does. And league svrums are just group hugs. no pushing

Yeah. Other main difference is league has 6 tackles, then the other team gets the ball, while union has unlimited tackles. League teams will usually kick the ball downfield on the 5th.

15 vs 13 player, different point system for win, draw and so on.

League is mainly played in eastern Aus, northern England, PNG and some of southern France. Aus and PNG are the only places where league is bigger than union

France is alright, usually make the finals. They're the number 2 in Europe, after England

2021 WC was Aus, NZ, England, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, PNG, Cook Islands, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, Italy, Lebanon, Greece and Jamaca
