The other kind of football is known as football or rugby union football, which is governed by the RFU (Registered Revenue Incurring) Sport (RUISL) rugby union football association. Rugby Union football can be played in any part of the world where there is an available artificial surface. There are three different levels of rugby union football. The senior league, the provincial league, and the under-regional league; the difference in level is based on the amount of playing time that a player has earned, the number of tries he has made and the number of goals he has scored during his career. As compared to association football, there is much less emphasis on fitness and training and much more on stamina and skill.
