What Is Rugby League?

Rugby league is an offshoot from rugby union, which in turn is an offshoot from soccer. It is played by two teams of 13 players each. In the process of trying to put a small leather ball over a line at the end of a 100 metre field, the players run into each other, pick each other up and throw each other on the ground, and generally get hurt a lot. But it's great fun to watch!
