If You’ve Never Seen A Professional Rugby League Game, You’re In For A Treat

I must admit, I’m a night owl. And very often, late at night, I find myself watching sports from “the land down under.” I’m talking about Australian Rules football or the National Rugby League from Australasia. These really are fun sports to watch, with lots of hard-hitting action.

When it comes to rugby, I have a great deal of admiration for the toughness of these athletes. They’re basically wearing no padding at all. Yet, they’re hitting each other as hard as they can. This game isn’t for the faint of heart.

There is an excellent video which explains the rules and strategies of the game of rugby on the NRL website. It is narrated by Academy Award winning actor, Russell Crowe. It was created for the website to help promote the games from earlier this year, so don’t be confused by the date at the end of the video. The games in 2025 will be on March 1.
