: Possibly the easiest way to do this would be by capitalising the names of the games, Rugby Union and Rugby League, as the latter is always referred to as Rugby League, or, more simply (and perhaps confusingly) as just 'League'. Thus one could have a League league. I'll make on or two edits - I think Stephen overstates the middle-classness of Union (it was played widely, for example, in the mining valleys of south Wales); and I'd say the south of England rather than south of Britain, as 'northern England' is mainly in the southern half of Great Britain.

:: I accept I oversimplify, it is to describe the difference and the history rather than to explain the current state of the games. To explain the difference in the sports now would be to go into the technicalities of the rules. I intend to feature South Wales later, as it is, as you suggest, significant. Excuse me if I am initially simplistic, it is just until I manage to write the many thousands of words necessary for a complete picture. [[user:stevendavy|stevendavy]]
