I find both rugby's rather slow to watch with all the stop start plays. If I had to watch one or the other I'd go for Union, it seems to flow better, probably why it is referred to as 'the running game'. It's probably due to a comparison with Aussie Rules, on which the emphasis is on continual ball movement, and while they do have stop for ruck contests and free kicks, they do try to keep it going as much as possible, I believe it's been referred to as the fastest moving contact ball sport in the world. I'm sure there's something that's quicker, but I haven't personally seen it. For me Aussie Rules is one the only good things about winter. |
