With a splash of humor and a dash of positivity, let's dive right into the heart of the scrum and figure out why rugby union is usually the belle of the ball, compared to its sibling, rugby league.

I've been pondering why rugby union isn't as popular in the Netherlands as it is in many other countries.

Additionally, the country's flat terrain might not be as conducive to rugby, a sport that often requires varied topography. Lastly, the absence of significant investment and focus on building a robust rugby infrastructure might also explain the sport's lack of popularity.
