Hey look at this Guys:

England secure their first-ever victory on Australian soil as they beat the Wallabies 25-14 in Melbourne. (BBC)

Our marvellous rugby team are a real credit to the country, unlike those overpaid, fashion conscious soccer players who do nothing than dribble over their balls!

woooo we won a match. Come back and tell me how good we are at rugby when we win a competition. At least in football we win most matches and we find it astonishing when we lose a mtch, such is the great expectation of the fans because we are that good!

Basically the same, League have fewer players in the team and has roots in the towns of the north, has become Americanised, RFU has greater following south & Wales & overseas.

Certainly, English rugby f.u. team do win matches and they play very well.

Because union is now classified as a professional game now alongside League.

So the players in union now don't have to have a job other than playing rugby.
