    Hadn't heard about this. The national Rugby League team plays in Lamport Stadium, so don't see why a professional team couldn't play there. It's Rugby Union that's been playing at BMO.

    It's Union not league... It's a league for Rugby Union teams.... 8-)

    Oh, just read that. USA Rugby and Rugby Canada. Could be interesting! And with the April to July season would fit in nicely before much of the Argos season, and during the traditional June/July downtime for MLS during the internationals and Gold Cup.

    Better not tell my wife though ...

    Well our game is part of that. It all comes from Football. Rugby is the only one still with the identifiable origin in the name.

    Nope. That's different.

    Union is the one where the national team plays at BMO and advertises in newspapers. League is the one that's played at Lamport, and they advertise on hydro poles.

    Canadian/American football originated from Rugby, football is the much slower version with more tactical thinking. Football is boring as hell if you ask me tho, any football fan who says soccer is slow is crazy. They did a study a couple years back on 4 NFL playoff games, the average amount of time where the ball was actually in play between the 4 games was something like 11 or 12 minutes of actual play in almost 4 hours the average time the game lasted. WOWWWW how do you watch that shit? soccer may average scores like 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-0, 2-2 but dam the game plays in constant motion and is over in 2 hours.

    agreed, i dont even know all the rules to rugby, but enjoy much more than nfl/cfl despite understanding and growing up with those.

    I dont hate it, its just my least favourite.

    Soccer, baseball/ hockey, basketball, rubgy/lacrosse, tennis, football, curling, watching grass grow, golf. In that order

    AFL is Australian Rules Football. A totally different animal played on cricket ovals. It's 100% unique.

    AFL is aussie rules football. Oval field. Kicking and punching ball to pass.

    NRL is league rugby. quick foot taps to start play, have to be 10 yards back.

    Union is tradiitional rugby. scrums, rucks, etc

    Why not just ask the same 3 to 4 people that took pics last time if they'll do it again?

    I would advise most people not to visit that link unless you like pain. Mostly TFC & Argos fans pissing at each other, with plenty of incorrect info as well. Little useful info about the stadium or construction. Maybe we can get some more info in this thread.

    Nah...most Argo fans and TFC supporters don't really care as long as the field share doesn't affect the games.

    The internet feuding stuff is a small minority of fans/supporters.
