What is rugby league?
Rugby league is one of two main forms of rugby, known for its fast-paced, continuous play. Unlike rugby union, it has fewer players and different rules around tackling and possession, leading to more open, attacking games. Billy Boston was a legend in this sport, achieving an incredible 571 tries for Wigan Warriors, showcasing his exceptional talent within its specific structure.
