Same size field as union, but marked differently.
League can be a good watch, there are certainly some players in League. That being said, I prefer Rugby.

That sounds too much like Football (Arm-Egg not 'proper') to me.
Slava and I were watching a few of the RWC matches in the pub and as soon as the match is over they switch the TVs to NFL and when you watch one right after the other it really hits home how different they are.
I'm a very, very casual football fan at best but man is it ever boring after watching Rugby.
I will however maintain that 'Rabbitohs' is a brilliant name for pretty much anything. I'd name a kid Rabbitoh.
