[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 415396, member: 12207"] Yeah, strong points on the appeal of League's simple and clear system of play. I find that when I introduce foreigners to Australian sports it's better to start them on League and then move them on to Rugby Union later because it's almost too much just throwing them strait into the game's complex mess of ambiguous rules. AFL is another beast altogether... Japanese friends of mine who were unfamiliar with Rugby just used to assume it was rugby too. I had a hard time explaining exactly what AFL is, but the best analogy I could come up with was that it was essentially a mix between Rugby, soccer and basketball. [/QUOTE]
