Rugby variants
At the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th century, this sport saw a rise in popularity at all social levels and was exported worldwide, thus giving rise to different variants.
The two main ones today are rugby union and rugby sevens. There is also “touch rugby”, “rugby flag”, “rugby 10s” and “beach rugby”. Each has its own variation of rugby’s rules, but all share the same spirit.


Am I missing something here?

Sonny Bill Williams to return to the NRL with the Sydney Roosters.

'He is known to be bored in rugby union and has made no secret of his desire to return to rugby league once he is freed from having to pay the Bulldogs any compensation.
French and Japanese rugby union clubs are still chasing the All Blacks star with offers of up to $1 million a season.'

Kyle Eastmond makes the bench for Bath today and is expected to make his debut.

He's not been named from the preview I've seen. Be interesting to see how he goes as I don't think there's a as much pressure on him as some other rugby league players who have moved to union. After all the fuss and bother when his move was announced, things have camed down and I think many have forgotten about him. Saints have been very fortunate in a way in that Eastmond's move, subsequent behaviour and injury led to Jonny Lomax being given a chance, hich he took with both hands. Lomax is a much brighter prospect than Eastmond and could be a real England star for many years to come.

He played about 15 minutes but it was a forward-dominated affair in which Bath had a big lead and were closing the game out, so very little opportunity to impress.

With the relatively little RL they have played I find it hard to distinguish between Lomax and Eastmond and it's a shame we will never get to find out how they will both turn out in RL. Eastmond's attitude let him down a bit towards the end of his time at Saints and I'm not sure how much that affects people's opinions of him. They are both outstanding talents.

Just seen the report on the BBC and he is indeed named on the bench before playing on the wing. It's just a personal opinion with regard to Lomax and Eastmond.

Of course. I agree with you regarding the expectaions of Eastmond too, seems to have slipped under the radar a bit. The Bath coaching staff seemed really excited about what he might bring to them in the match preview, although you wouldn't expect them to say anything else.

Sale Sharks have announced Steve Diamond will take over as chief executive in February, but will also continue as director of sport. Two for one. Costcutting?
Sharks say a decision on a possible ground move will be made within six weeks. They're linked with move to Barton, sharing with Salford.
