or *nion (vulg.)
28 fat blokes watching two other blokes engage in a kicking contest. A generally unwatchable sport where progress is made either: a) by kicking the ball out of the playing area or b) by goading the opposition into conceding a penalty due to an unwitting infringement of one of the many obscure laws (see 'he's gone in the wrong side').
When the two 'kickers' are not engaged in exchanging hoofs into the stand, the 28 fat blokes are called upon to pile onto the ball to prevent its progress up the field. This is called either a 'ruck'; a 'maul' or '28 fat blokes in a heap'.
Games of rugby *nion are settled by which team has the best kicker. Occasionally a 'try' may be scored - but they are so rare that their value has been increased in order to encourage players to pursue that route to victory.
But as try-scoring requires fitness and handling skills, the sport prefers the kicking option to settle contests. (see also 'drop goal' - one bloke kicking while 29 watch). On the rare occasion that a try is achieved, 14 fat blokes pushing another bloke under a pile of bodies from 1 yard is considered a specimen of the type.
Generally considered: a) inferior to Rugby League in terms of skill, fitness and excitement; b) the preferred game of chinless wonders and old Rugby League players who can't hack it any more and c) the spectator sport of bandwagon-jumping twats who don't support any club and don't know any better (see 'Inverdale').
Inf. *nion - 'a pile of unwatchable shite'.
'You can't pass/run/tackle, lad - did you come from *nion?'
'Careful, don't step in that steaming pile of *nion'.

Inferior sport to rugby league. Aparently points are scored by goal kickers (one to a team of fifteen). Imagines that one day it will be bigger than soccer.
Generally played by those educated at Public (ie private) schools.
Much over rated by the british media.Most of whom went to said schools.
Hey fat boy, why don't you go and play rugby union?

Union Bridge is one of the most boring places on the planet Earth. Younger locals call it "the bridge" because no matter how you want to get out of town, you have to cross a bridge. Union Bridge is a one stoplight town in Carroll County, MD (which almost says enough). Union Bridge has two liquor stores, a gun cellar and three churches. Though there is a main street revitilization comittee that is trying to make the town look prettier, the Lehigh Cement factory has made it impossible for the town to ever look good again. Lehigh's couple hundred foot tower right in town can be seen at night from the top of ski liberty mountain resort which is about 20 something miles away. Also, no matter what basement you are in in Union Bridge, you can feel vibrations from the blasts at the quarry. Cement dust from Lehigh gathers on cars and can ony be washed off with vinegar. There are numerous drug busts, but that's about all the crime that happens. Parties never happen unless its with underage kids and cops. If its Winter, kids can sled down one of the many corn fields. In the summer, if you don't have a car or your parents aren't willing to drive you, you're screwed cause there aren't any pools or theme parks nearby.
Imagine your heart has been stabbed 87,000 times by a car key. That's what summers are like in Union Bridge if you don't have any friends.

A Game that is totally inferior to Rugby League, Union fans are known as Rah Rah's or fucking morons.
Its the only rugby game in the world where you can have a 30 all draw with no fucking tries scored!
When in doubt kick it out!

A game of kick, clap and utter boredom.
A game commonly played to infront of one man and his dog at club level, and 900,000,000 at international level.
The only game in the world where a team can score no tries but still win against a team that has run in three or four if they kick enough goals.
Complete and utter shite. A game where 15 men from Harrow play against 15 men from Eton and barely touch each other yet look as ugly as Elton John.
A game supported by inbreds who are liable to burst into two choruses of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" but fail to carry on as they don't know the rest of the song
