What John Hobson calls Association Rugby is a.k.a. Rugby Union.
Football to most Limeys is what is also known as soccer, unless
you are a UCT (upper-class twit) and the son of gentlefolk, in
which case football is Rugby Union.  Rugby League is more common
in the north of England, which most UCTs try to ignore.

How can you tell a Rugby Union game from a League game?
If play is resumed by a single player placing the ball on
the ground and heeling it back to a teammate, then you are
observing a Rugby League game.
