For one to say rugby league and rugby union have been great friends through history, you'd need a pretty hopeful view of the battle…
Bakkies, I think there’s a very significant difference between a hit & roll or saddle roll technique employed by support players at the breakdown and the turtle position that Leaguies spend so much time practising

I think the more meaningful game may have been Sale v St Helens in 2003, 41-39 to the former. My memory of the Bath v Wigan game is of Deryk Bevan (?) posturing his way about the place and smashing the Leaguies in the penalty count 🙂

Fair call David, but I’m thinking in terms of how well elite Rugby teams use the set piece opportunity. Watching Kurtley drift across field these last three Tests does not support my proposition, granted 🙂
