Comparison of rugby league and rugby union.

In English rugby football, towards the end of the 19th century, a schism developed over the way the sport was run, one of the major disputes was between those who favoured strict amateurism and those who felt that players should be compensated for time taken off work to play rugby football. This resulted in the breakaway of several leading clubs and their formation of a new governing body in 1895, the Northern Rugby Football Union, and in time a new sport, rugby league football.

Since the 1895 schism, changes have taken place to the laws of both rugby union and rugby league football so that now they are distinct sports.

A distinction often cited is that rugby league has shed from its laws several opportunities for possession to be contested that rugby union has retained: contesting the ball after the tackle, on the ground in rucks and in mauls. Additionally, rugby league uses a scrum to restart the game in those situations where rugby union uses a line-out. Though rugby league scrums are sometimes claimed to be uncontested, the laws provide for contested scrums should the non-feeding team attempt to contest the ball, though for several reasons a convention of lenient enforcement is in practice.
