Hi VT.

I am one of the most interesting men in the United States, or at least in the state of Kentucky, and I declare that for the fact that I am probably the only Kentuckian who truthfully likes Rugby and does think that its *read with redneck accent* "fewtbawl witaut paedz."

However, few people outside the U.S have no idea that there are TWO forms of the same sport known as Rugby. On one instance you have Rugby Union, the other Rugby League. However, those who live in the Dominion (the U.K and all who share the British Crown) probably know the difference, which I am too lazy to explain at the moment :P.

But, what do you guys think is the better sport? I personally have more respect for Union because of the history and the international organization, and typically the players seem to be more well-mannered. However, League is a whole lot more fun to watch in my opinion, as at least in the NRL they do seem to have a whole lot more skill, and set pieces don't take forever, and everything is just "flashier."

However, we can all agree that Rugby Sevens is the shit, right? Carlin Isles and Danny Barrett FTW!

In all honesty though, What are you guys opinion?
