I stumbled across this great League vs Union articlewhile reading an article on the ashes

Well worth a read IMHO

You come at the king - You better not miss.

It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?

Very biased article, but the tackle stats amused me


AUS ------------ NZ
65 TACKLES MADE 78
157 Attempted 140
20 Ineffective 11
22 Missed 31

Is it really that biased though? (It is a bit tonge-in-cheek and poking fun at Union but that's not exactly the same thing)

It's focusing on two specific matches and comparing and contrasting what was seen. It's hard to argue that there's not too much kicking in Union these days.

Was discussing Union with a duel-code fan at the Crusaders game and we both agreed that in terms of quality of play international Union seems to have gone backwards over the last few years (although the teams have become closer matched)

On the stats also notable:

72 RUNS 85
473m Metres Gained 548m

Union is a kickfest according to the article. Judging by the number of empty seats supporters must enjoy kickfests then.

You've got to hand it to the Union marketing men they could sell ice to an Eskimo that lot.

I watched a BBC advert for this saturdays final, it stated in league the ball is in play for 90% of the time, i'd have thought union is near to half of that.

What was the claim about distance travelled.... it sounded pathetic.

I didn't quite catch it but it didn't sound much, something like 2 Kilometres.
