I will always respect the great Bath side

They played a cross code challenge against Wigan, the greatest RU team versus the greatest RL team. In the RL game Wigan won 84 6. A crushing victory. In the RU game Bath beat Wigan about 40 20. Basically Wigan didn't know the rules and got outplayed in the first half. In the second, the fittness and Wigans quick learning equaled the points scored in that half. What really was apparrent was that after a century the two games were totally different. RL is about power defence and scoring creative tries. RU is a kicking game. In RL the ball is in play for 80% of the game, in RU it is about 40%. Consequently he finess levels are beyond coare. In recent years RU players have come muc closer. What gets me most though
