Milestones to millstones
Roy Masters | December 8, 2007
Rugby league is officially 100 years old on April 20 next year, commemorating the start of the Sydney first grade competition, while Australian football is 150 years old, based on the spurious claim of a game,
closely resembling rugby union, played in Melbourne in 1858 between two schoolboy teams.

Yeah Roy rugby union is played on a 2 mile long oval with goals at either end with no offside rule and no throwing of the ball allowed
.
