The soccer club was split off from the rest of the club. The rest of the club is multi sports and is till alive and kicking. They have sports ranging from athletics to handball, ice hockey, RU, etc.... It used to be the army's sports club back in the day, and AFAIK it's still embedded into the ministry of defense's structures, and they have/had a big rivalry with Dinamo, which used to be the police's sports club. The soccer club came up with this beauty as a replacement: :laugh: :laugh:

They have Saracens too in Hendon. The other two "London" clubs are only in the city nominally

Sure, you can measure those and other things, but whether more time with the ball in play or better fitness mean a sport is better than another sport is subjective. NFL only has the ball in play for 11 minutes during a 3 hour game and their players are less fit yet it's the most popular sport in the US.

how would anyone give you objective criteria for something that can only be judged subjectively?

Also, blue is the best colour and anyone who disagrees is just wrong.

below the 6N level union has a 7 division yearly international competition involving 36 nations.. in Europe alone. They have similar competitions for all the continents. PNG does have RU. In fact their national team made the FORU Oceania Cup (a yearly competition involving 9 Pacific nations) in 2013.Also, the RLIF ranks 33 countries. The IRB ranks 101.

Not for a union fan. A union fan thinks union is better than league, otherwise he'd be a league fan.Or perhaps you reckon the typical union fan thinks league is better?
