Rugby Union Quotes
"I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league." Graham Lowe back in 1995
"It's the first time I've been cold for seven years. I was never cold playing Rugby League." Jonathan Davies on his return to Rugby Union.
"A bomb under the west car park at Twickenham on an international day would end fascism in England for a generation." Phil Toynbee.
"Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby union is a complex game played by wankers." Former Australian captain Laurie Daley.
"I don't consider myself a celebrity," he said. "And I've got a great family that makes sure it stays that way. It doesn't matter if I'm playing union for Australia, they still reckon I'm not good enough to play reserve grade in rugby league." Australian rugby union "sensation" Matt Giteau knows his place in the world.
"Never have I seen the Wallabies play as badly … it was agony watching Stephen Larkham and Chris Latham continually kick the ball away to an opposition which was equally inept at running the football, ensuring the game degenerated into a fantastic advertisement for rugby league. What a waste of a night." Australian Rugby Union talking head Mark Ella after an Australia vs South Africa Rugby Union test match in 2006.
"Pelous, who will miss his side's opening match in Italy through injury, added: "I just want to be involved. This is the championship every French player wants to be part of. The Rugby World Cup is big, sure, but there is nothing to compare with the Six Nations, and that's because we don't know who will win it. We all have a realistic chance." League fans already knew the rugby union world cup was a second rate competition.
"I don't really watch that much Super 14 or union on TV," Beale told Mark Ella's new website rugbyexclusive.com "I'm always watching Super Saturday (NRL). I wouldn't mind going back to play league. It all depends." Australian rugby unions great hope, young former League player from Western Sydney Kurtley Beale had been a professional union player for five minutes and he is already sick of it!
"I like being competitive and I like to have the ball in my hands," Tahu said at the time." That would probably be the most stressful thing; the game's close and you want to do something and you can't even get the ball because they're very structured. Being a centre or winger, you touch the ball two times in a game - and I don't really want to be doing that." Timana Tahu a few weeks before he actually signed a four year contract to play Rugby Union, at which point, he changed his tune. Funny how money does that!
"The timing isn't good when you're asking proven Wallabies to take a haircut," ACT brumbies rugby union team chief executive Andrew Fagan on the signing of Tahu at a time when current rugby union players are being short changed. Not only does this prove that union administrators are idiot, but its also an insight that union players like to be paid in human hair.
"I have said for 20 years that if rugby really wants to compete with other high-entertainment sports all it has to do is make the field 10 metres wider. Also get rid of scrums, as they are a blight on the game. It is a complete waste of entertainment time when they reset another ego-driven caveman monstrosity." Former Australian rugby union kicking coach Ben Perkins. Perkins had an afl background.
"I probably wouldn't," he said. "I want to stay in league. I prefer league over union. I don't like the way it stops and starts. It seems pretty boring to me." Young Melbourne Storm NRL winger Israel Folau gives his opinion on rugby union after talk that the aru should target him as their highest priority signing. At the time he had played 9 first grade games.
"I've played for the Wallabies in a World Cup final, the Maroons and the Kangaroos and I have absolutely no doubt that Origin football is the toughest you'll play in either code," Former Origin and rugby union test player Matt Rogers giving his opinion on which is the toughest form of football.
"I wish!" Timana Tahu in late 2007 when asked by Mattew Johns whether he was able to get out of his rugby union contract starting in 2008.
"Except for the front row, there's no reason why a rugby league player couldn't quickly adapt. They certainly have more superior skills with the ball in their hands than the Wallaby forwards." Dual international John Gray on Rugby Leagues more skillful players.
“I’ve not seen it,” commented the England international. “I’ve been watching the rugby league.” English soccer star Wayne Rooney when asked about the 2007 rugby union world cup.
"I love league, I love watching league but I love watching union and I like watching all sorts of union.
"That's what we've got to be careful with, just talking about Australia. As much as I love the way we approach our sport, we've got to be careful we don't change the game just because we want entertainment. We first of all had 50-over cricket, that wasn't exciting enough, so now we've got 20-over cricket. So go and watch seven-a-side (rugby) or go and watch rugby league." Former Australian rugby union coach and current South African assistant coach Eddie Jones on talks of changing rugby unions rules to be more like Rugby League after the world was so incredibly bored by the 2007 rugby union world cup.
"I interfered with quokkas in fascination of our icon, not to be cruel, not to show off in front of my teammates and definitely not to hurt them. They are awesome creatures and I apologise profusely for being intoxicated and thus being clumsy in returning a quokka to the ground." Australian union player Scott Fava after being fined $11,000 for mistreating a protected Australian marsupial while drunk with all his team mates.
"The [World Cup] games were intense and precise and very much based around getting to the right places on the field to kick ... and that doesn't, if I'm going to be honest, enthral me ... the idea of going into a game knowing you've got to put the ball around kicking doesn't really enthral me. It's not why I got into rugby." John Wilkinson said this. Even this over rated cock doesn't like rugby union!
"It's got a lot more of a rugby league feel on it, There's no stop-start, the essence of what rugby is, anymore." Some South African called Bryan Habana talking about how he doesnt like the new "Polishing a turd" rules union have come up with to stop people who watch it falling into a coma. It seems Bryan likes to stand around and do nothing when he plays rugby.
"I get paid to do stuff and it's a waste of time if I don't see the ball much,” Tongan born, Zew Zealander come Pom Lesley Vainikolo already realizes that in union wingers don't see the ball. It hasn't stopped him trouncing them though.
"I'd suspect the All Blacks selectors are smiling from ear to ear in terms of Brad Thorn. Brad has just been outstanding. He offers so much because he is a set piece specialist ... there are not many who are better than him in that area. Then he adds the dimension of being able to run with the ball and he is also very often amongst our top defenders. So he is very valuable to us. He has come in from years of the NRL where it is week after week grind so he is knows how to do it ... he has a great way with training." A Super 14 coach called Mark Hammett on former Rugby League player Brad Thorn. It seems that at age 33, Thorn is tearing it up in Rugby Union.
"Hammett reckons Thorn is a better player now and has learned to blend some key traits from league into his rugby game. His fitness and stamina have been extraordinary over the first six rounds of the championship being played under the new rules where the Crusaders have gone unbeaten." Rugby haven writer Duncan Johnstone on how a 33 year old former Rugby League forward not known for his speed, stamina or mobility in Rugby League is basically a mile ahead of any other rugby union player.
"Fortunately for me I'm enjoying my rugby with the Ospreys, hopefully it'll continue for the next couple of years so I can stay away from that rugby league - it seems a little tough to me!" Welsh Rugby Union star and IRB player of the year nominee Shane Williams on comments from Allan Bateman that the Celtic Crusaders should sign him as they enter Super League.

Rugby league is shit. if rugby union is so bad why is it way more popular in the world |
on October 13 2007 10:47:13
Because of administration. Rugby League has poor administration and rugby union has corrupt administration.
Just look at what happened in France! Its a disgrace! |
on October 13 2007 20:26:07
At least more than one team can win the rugby union world cup |
on October 14 2007 15:09:04
And what a way to win it too....so far England have scored 1 try in total since the group stages on their way to the 2007 rugby union world cup final.
Excitement plus!  |
on October 14 2007 15:59:59
It is still more exciting than a one horse race. Australia has won 9 of the 12 league world cups. And England isn’t the only team in the Rugby Union world cup there is about 20. That’s a lot more than the league world cup.
Hopefully Papua New Guinea will beat the kangaroos!!!! |
on October 15 2007 12:22:08
The Rugby League World Cup has far more history and has always been won by the best rugby player side in the world.
The union version is a boring kick-a-thon won by the team that can draw penalties and kick field goals.
The Australian Kangaroo's scored 11 tries against New Zealand yesterday.
England has scored just 12 tries in the whole of the union world cup, including games agianst easy team minnor nations. They have also been able to only score on try in three games against South Africa, Australia and France.
What a shit side....and they are in the final! |
on October 15 2007 18:22:44
Obviously every one agrees with you because the league attendace was about 16,000 and the union was about 70,000
South Africa must have kicked lots of penalties in their game to get to 37 points
And 11 tries against the 3rd best team in the world what a joke, i would much rather see a game than a flogging.
And Englands game plan is boring but at least their games were close
Rugby league internationals are Excitement Plus!!!!!!!!!!! |
on October 15 2007 19:52:14
So the current world champions and one of the finalists have done so by being boring.
What a great game!
Then again South African managed to score a couple of tries against a bunch of hopeless players from Argentina. Of...but most were intercepts!
The Kangaroo's always playing brilliant football no matter what the occasion. They would wipe the floor with any team at that hopeless borefest in France at the moment.  |
on October 15 2007 21:33:13
it is easy to score tries against a team with 12 players
i 'm suprised they could find 13 people in New Zeland who play Rugby League
they might have to play in the rugby world cup. i guess that would give them some competition seeing that no one plays league |
on October 16 2007 14:24:19
Hundreds of thousands play Rugby League. Its funny though that you suggest the Kiwi's cant play Rugby League and so they should play rugby union.
After all, thats what people that aren't good enough to play Rugby League end up doing, they play kick and clap and make a name for themselves kicking goals, laying around before scrums are packed or kicking the ball into the stands. |
on October 16 2007 18:26:44
It's funny how most of the kiwis in their Rugby League are Australian anyway.
And obviously Andy Farrell, Lote Tuqiri, Wendell Sailor and Matt Rogers were all shit players who came to union to get a game.You Know Andy Farrell being captain of England and all. Maybe they just wanted someone to play football against. |
on October 17 2007 09:16:33
The Kiwi's are Kiwi's, you idiot!
And the League players you named went for a big pay day and every single one dominated in union. Hell Carney made the Irish union side in a matter of days! |
on October 17 2007 17:42:53
Yeah someone living in Australia all their life is hardly a kiwi. Look at Nathan Fien his great great grandma was a kiwi and he got into the team. they must be real desperate.
And most of the rugby league players that convert to the better game are over rated and over paid look at Tiqiri 5 tries all year Awesome!!!!! |
on October 18 2007 22:39:36
Andy Farrell, Lote Tuqiri, Wendell Sailor and Matt Rogers were all shit players who came to union to get a game.
YES!!!!!!! farell was shithouse everyone knows that. sailor is a druggo and rogers was either injured or bitching abou something |
on October 19 2007 18:04:14
then why was farell the captain. England must not have very good players if he was so shit and the captain. |
on October 21 2007 12:39:01
A tryless rugby union world cup final.
How amazingly boring! |
on October 21 2007 13:13:36
Just shows how good the defense is. and besides there are 15 players in a union team which makes it harder to score.
Can't wait to see the league W.O.R.L.D cup final if they can find 2 teams to play in it. Lebanon might just make it through. |
on October 21 2007 22:36:15
england did not have good players thankyou for illustrating my point |
on October 22 2007 11:43:55
Wow the 3rd best league team in the world with shit players. That tells you something. |
on October 22 2007 14:36:38
Just on that amazing defense in the union world cup final....
The top tackler for the match was John Wilkinson with a grand total of 8 tackles!
The ball was in play for all of about 32 minutes! |
on October 23 2007 19:36:10
yeah maybe because union isn't just repetitive sholder charges.
And at least people cared about winning the rugby world cup in South Africa. when Australia wins the league world cup no one but you will give a shit!!!!! |
on October 24 2007 11:52:11
Oh we will give a shit!
We have been the World Champions longer than your poxy goal kicking competition has even had a World Cup! |
on October 24 2007 12:14:01
Really, they've had a league W.O.L.D cup before. I guess like the rest of the world i missed it |
on October 24 2007 12:19:21
No, they all saw it.
Unlike the poor buggers that tuned into the union version expecting to see some rugby played and all they saw was goal kicking! |
on October 24 2007 21:02:33
No i think most of the people missed the leage W.O.L.D cup and Australia winning it for the 9th consecutive time.
And if you know anything about football you would know that a win is a win. And if you can kick a penalty for 3 points or risk it and go for five any smart person would go for the kick.
It's not the teams that made the world cup one to forget it's the fricking irb!!! |
on October 25 2007 08:36:00
No...it was the teams. They were boring and the game they play is shit! |
on October 25 2007 17:09:59
u cant blame administration for everything |
on October 25 2007 21:27:09
mmmmmm.... i would like to see you say that to the All Blacks and see how many teeth you have left. Then again the crowds obviously told that union was shit. Hell they even had thousands of people at the airport just to see the trophy think the league "W.O.L.R.D" cup will be lucky to get that at the final. Where is the final again, Rockhampton or something.......then again no one really gives a shit about a one horse race. |
on October 26 2007 21:55:01
I wouldnt dare say that to the all blacks players....they might hit me with one of their handbags. Then again, they couldnt even beat a bunch of Frogs, so I doubt I'd have anything to worry about!
As for the Rugby League World Cup, the final will be played at Lang Park, the world famous venue that is the premier rugby stadium in the world. |

So have you ever played or watched a union game in your life (or for that matter played a league game) to make the assumption, or do you use your truly "awesome" (your words not mine) website to vent your insecurity about Rugby League
You’re pretty much like most league fans; hate union for no good reason even though if you could read a book you’d find that if it wasn't for union your shitty little regional game wouldn't exist, you say that "most league players dominate Union" the only decent league convert that I can think of is Tuqiri. But how about some union to league player, how about "The King" Wally Lewis, how about Dally M. Hell infact most of the” team of the Centaury" players are ex union players.
This whole page is just filled with shitty (most probably photoshoped) pic's and Wikipedia "Facts" in your crap attempt to massage your (already overblown) ego. You list some of your likes as soccer and American football, yet they have a lot of kicking and stoppage so what makes them better, is it because they don't compete with players and rating like union and league. Hell I could pretty much sit here and rebuff everything you have said on this page, but I won’t, I have a life
I find most union fans watch and like league, but league fans seem to think there is some sort of competition (In which if you look on a global scale there isn’t) It's people like you that continue to make league the small, crappy, regional game it is. |
on July 02 2008 03:18:27
I played Rugby league for years and like all league players, I walked into union teams as well. In fact, I was as much a union player as Wally lewis was. I was born and bred on Rugby League....and just happened to tear it up in the lesser form of rugby as well.
Now, let me refresh your stupid little union mind about the League converts that have played international rugby union in the late few years...
Tuqiri, Vainikolo, Harris, Sailor, Rogers, Elsom, Cross, Barnes, Thorn, Carney, Robinson, Farrell....thats just off the top of my head. They all switched to union and were International players when they wanted to be.
In fact it only took Iestyn Harris 11 days to become a union international and Brad Thorn was chosen for the All Blacks after a few months, turns the offer down, went on a holiday, came back and walked into the All Black again!
So you see, Rugby League players, and coaches for that matter dominate rugby union, and for good reason. You see we are bigger, stronger, smarter, faster and tougher.
Hell, we have to teach you how to play your own stinking game! |

Ahhhm so can you name any Decent league to union players beside Tiquri, Farrell and Elsome (he Originally started playing union before he went to the bulldogs) Vainikolo (played union) Sailor sucked, Rogers sucked. oh, Robinson was good but he could have played any sport he was so fast. Most of them are hype, and certainly none of them would have made it into any union team of the century for any nation
About this Harris kid (who I’ve never heard of)"Harris proved to be a good union player, winning 25 Wales caps, but nowhere near the mercurial heights expected of him and his price tag". So you see he isn't even in the Wales team anymore), but as for the "king" Wally he was named the captain of the team of the century. Thorn is a New Zealander so i don't know how the hell he got into the Kangaroos. It makes more sense he is playing for the All Blacks, so i don't see what your point is
One of reason why league players play union is the money that shows some real commitment to your code there doesn’t it.
So you see no Ex league players dominate union( the players who do are the likes of Carter, Mortlock, McCaw, Montgomery and Smit to name a few) as for coaches i've got one, Ricky Stuart, he played union
Seeing that you love getting facts from wikipedia have a look a this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Players_who_have_converted_from_one_football_code_to_another see many more union to league players |

See these ignorant union fans...you can list FACTS and they still cant cop a tip....
Here is a tip....Wally Lewis played Rugby league his entire life. Just because as a teenager he also happened to be able to walk into a junior union team did not make him a union product, you fool!
Only rugby union could try and claim someone like Wally Lewis...then again this is a code that spent 100 years running a class and race war.
Jonah Lomu was a League player, he seemed to do alright in union. Then there was Tana Umaga who tried out for the Newcastle Knights, couldn't make the grade, went back to union and dominated for over a decade.
Its the longest list in the world! Rugby League just dominates union! |

"then again this is a code that spent 100 years running a class and race war" what a load of bullshit race has nothing to do with Rugby, and if you are talking about the South African team, that was the government at the time now half the SA team is black. As for class i come from a middle class public school and play for a team next to a large private school in Brisbane, and school or class has never been an issue. You know i was trying to be grow up in this discussion, but yeah nice low blow, wanker.
And so Wally didn't count because he played union as a teenager, but Lomu does count as a league player even though I can't find any evidence he even played league as a kid (please enlighten me) even if he did he didn't represent New Zealand. As for Tana he actually played for the junior New Zealand league team, so where does it say he couldn’t make grade for the knight because he is a bad player? If you are trying to make out union is weak, I don’t think so, there are a lot more neck injuries in union, a few weeks ago a welsh player died because he broke his neck in a tackle. |

See this is union people for you. Union must be better because a player died playing it. I bet he dies of boredom!
See, what you need to remember is this joker above lives in Queensland, where Rugby league is just so incredibly dominant. That must made this kid really sad. And don't even get me started on what all the Rugby League people must call him at school....you know the types of words they use to describe soft little union playing dopes like Mr "I'm from a middle class public school"!
And then he says the class thing doesn't matter...please. I bet the private school kids give him hell.....so he cops it from the Leaguies and the soft toffs when he is playing union!
Now lets sort this shall we.
Wally Lewis played Rugby League right through his childhood and teenage years. He also happened to make a junior rep side in union, as most of us League players do, after all, we dominate union when we try our hand at it.
Jonah Lomu played Rugby League as a teenager and then got a contract to play union. And he dominated that so called sport.
Same goes for Umaga, a junior League player who tried to become a professional Rugby league players....and he failed. He then tried union and become an all time great.....it was easy for him because of his League background.
So you see, Rugby League is the be all and end all. I mean, where you are right now, they are not talking about the amazing games between the Koala Bears and the Flowers are they.....Origin is makes you die a little inside every time you hear about it.
That makes you one sick, sad, sorry little kid right now! |

No, i said you league people piss on about how "Strong your game is" while having sex with your sisters and growing your mullets.
Yeah Queensland is about the only place where league is dominant...and the great nation of Papua New Guinea. and yeah alot of people at my school play league (so they should because Qeensland is about the only place they play league) but most of them don't crap on about it like you
Wally (btw he did play Union first) also just happend to make State of origin , The Kangawho's and the captain of the team of the century, so yeah great point
Lomu played league till he was 14 so he didn't represent his country, like The "king" Wally. As for Umanga i can't find anything that says he failed to get into the Knights, only he left to go back to New Zealand, (so can you back up your just said)
And i did watch the origin, it wasn't a bad game
So you see, League's like 7's, a pissey little take off of union.
But lets just wait and see how much global media attention the league "world" cup gets shall we |

See this kid above is what happens when union people breed.
All he knows are the lies that his dopey union upbringing has taight him....he knows no better.
Once again......for the idiot above.....
Wally Lewis palyed Rugby League all his life. He also just happened to make a unions schoolboys team once. He was not a rugby union product and when asked about the claim he laughs it off.
Lomu was a league junior who dominated union. Umaga was a League junior who couldnt make the grade, he switched codes and dominated union.
These are all facts.
Now, I know facts are something union people...ande kids, like youself, dont really like to confront. You lot are more likely to just make up a story and try and tell everyone its true (Like the stupid story about William Webb Ellis, something that never happened!).
Still, I love the fact this kid is surrounded by Rugby League every day. I think its great that when he tells people around him he plays Rugby Union, people look down on him like he is a lesser person.
Its fanstastic! |

I’ve just been soaking up the great news, Gasnier gone to Union, Sonny Bill going to union, another crap crowd at ANZ, great Union game and crowd at Olympic Stadium and not to mention about every league fan death riding the whole code.
I think you summed it up when you said “You must be dying inside”
So because I feel pity for you I thought of some comebacks you could use:
“League isn’t big in France because all the French are Nazi’s”
(Haven’t heard that one before)
“The reason we couldn’t get a crowd to ANZ and had to give free tickets to pacific islanders was……”
“All the wallabies are ex league players”
(Quietly forgetting the fact that league has been taking Union players for 80 years)
“The IRB will help”
(Quietly forgetting the fact that league has been taking Union players for 80 years)
"I'm the guy at the penrith games with a mullet, you can't miss me.. i'm the only one in the crowd"
I’m really enjoying League tearing itself apart, maybe soon you will see League is dead. But hay you always have the league world cup to look forward to...........nah just kidding it will suck.
What that league freak, don’t tell me your plugging your crazy League/union merger
P.S You write like people read your crap site:

See this is a typical union supporter.
They buy two players that couldnt play a full NRL season between them and pay over for both of them.
The have one game all year that gets a decent crowd, and yet the ratings for it were terrible.
All the rest is just union jibber.
To be fair, they have had 100 years to refine their jibber, but this kid from Queensland is just grasping at straws! |
