    Probably says something to the rest of the small minority who prefer league too.

    That game was lost by the coaching team, too many changes in the second half. All credit to Wales.

    Wales had plenty of changes forced on them too. Agree we lost something with the changes but the replacements should be able to do the job, Wales's did.

    Isn't one of them in Union that could cut it in League. Sam's gone for the money and International game. Be back home shortly.
    Watch Hudds v Leeds from Friday for proper rugby

    A lot of top league players seem to switch to union. Chance to prove themselves in the toughest code, watched by the whole world.

    Im sure even you don't believe that. It's more about a chance to make a bit of cash.

    Only reason RU has improved slightly over the past few years is due to the growing Rugby League influence off the field

    Union has more money, both hemispheres, but it will never be a better game to watch. Rugby in either code should be about tries, Union has none.

    That must be why union grows in popularity while league struggles for a foothold. Hang on that can't be right...

    They had just subbed off Farrell ? Maybe that had a bearing on the decision - tough on Ford had he had 1 very tough kick to draw the game and missed it?

    Farrell was still on wasn't he? I missed him being replaced if he did. Ford came on for Burgess.

    My mistake if he was, assumed he'd been swapped. Even more ludicrous decision if so as every one of Farrell's kicks went straight down the middle of the posts.

    It was still a tough kick given the angle, but you've got to take the shot surely? A draw would have left us in charge of the group still.

    I'm certainly no expert in either code and I'd only consider myself a causal supporter but I do like Union much better. I just can not get into league at all. Union at international level is something that appeals to a lot of people - far more than league.

    Club rugby union has higher attendances than league too. 4k different on last full season for average across the top league.
