• League, or Rugby League Football to give it its full title, is a hard-hitting, fast-flowing team sport requiring a number of attributes including speed, strength, determination, courage and a willingness to take a hit — and lots of them.</p>
  As a contact sport, Rugby League is one of the most physical there is. But don&rsquo;t think that Rugby League is all about sheer size and strength, as although it is an obvious advantage, skill and tactics play a significant part in the game too. Rugby League players have to be multi-skilled, being able to run, kick and handle the ball well, but players do have specialist roles within their team to utilise their specific skills and attributes.</p>
