When we think about rugby, we often think of a sport being played by more than a dozen players on the field giving each other a blow in order to get the ball into the other side of the field. We don’t think about other versions such as union, league and other forms of rugby out there let alone spot the difference. We think rugby and others are one and the same.
So, let us spot the difference and learn it while we are at it. Team size is the first difference that we can spot. The typical rugby team only consists of 15 men playing on the field while there are 7 reserves on the sideline. The typical league team consists of 13 players with 4 reserves. This means that the league team is smaller than the standard rugby team.
There usually is an interchange system operated for a rugby league with reserve players and this allows for a maximum of 10 changes throughout the entire game. On the other hand, the standard rugby game play, once the player gets off the field he cannot return to the game anymore but like any rule there are also two exceptions to this simple rule.
Of course, the rules may not be same with other forms of the game such as in the youth rugby league but basically the goals of the game are the same. Furthermore, there is also a difference in the scoring such as points in a try, conversion, penalty and field goal. Standard rugby has 5 points in tries, 2 points in conversion and 3 points for field goal and penalty.
In a standard rugby league club, on the other hand, has 4 points in a try, 2 points in both conversion and field goal and 1 point for a field goal. There is also a big difference in the scrums and line outs of the game. In a rugby game, scrum is primarily contested by two opposing teams and has more people participating in the scrum.
In a rugby league, it is the complete opposite because the scrum is hardly contested and has less players contesting and participating. Perhaps, there will also be changes in the youth rugby league but how the game is played is essentially the same.
