Haha, yes, I've even attended matches without being paid (and still do occasionally).

Ummmmm - diagree there.
They are men by gender amd chromosomes.

Flowers notwithstanding (and they have significance in Japan) they play a pretty violent sport.

My brother played rugby when he was grad asst football coach at the college from which he graduated.

Mom said "I will NOT watch my son play rugby and I will NOT watch my daughter jump out of an airplane." These instances were in the same time frame.

'Cause, rugby is a TOUGH sport!

Oh, I don't know the difference. It was like an intramural league, nothing official.

Is there a difference in the play?

In league, when you're tackled, you have the right to get to your feet and play the ball at your convenience without being hindered, at least in theory. In Union, when tackled, you must immediately play the ball, usually by placing it on the ground behind you, and hope to goodness your teammates get there to secure the ball before the opposition do.

Well, if he has the imprints of the studs of football boots on his head, it was probably union.

But it another man has handled his funny shaped balls, it could be either.

I think it was non-pussified. My dad went to watch sometimes and said it could be pretty brutal. My brother, a no-holds-barred athlete and one of the smartest people I know, probably played the Union thingy. He never does anything halfway.
