Rugby Union uses 15 players per side (eight forwards and seven backs) and each team has a backup of seven substitutes. The aim is to get more points than your opponent through a combination of ‘tries’ (effectively touchdowns worth five points), “conversions” (a kick to award two extra points after a try has been scored), and ”penalty kicks & drop goals“ (field goals worth three points).
Rugby League is a smaller version of Rugby Union. It is centered mainly in Europe and Australia. There are no flankers in Rugby League. There is only 30 member countries of the RLIF, compared to 118 that make up the IRB.
