  Rugby League - Uncyclopedia
Rugby League is a game played by individuals of questionable sexuality, populating the eastern states of Straiya, New South Wales and Queensland.
Rugby league was by far the most popular professional sport in Europe until a series of League hating communist, nazi, and facist governments outlawed the game in Russia (world champions, 1917), Germany (European 13 nations series winners, 1926), and Italy (2nd 19 times in a row, European 13 nations series, 1902 - 1921).
Rugby League is exactly like Rugby Union except instead of the union "scrum", league has a "soft happy cuddle" and instead of the union "lineout", league has the same shit it does for the rest of the game over and over and fucking over again.
