Rugby code switch

[Rooney1987]

What do you all think of Rugby code switch from league to union. I don't know about player switch in Australia and New Zealand the only success for England I can think of is Jason Robinson. We are still waiting for Andy Farrel to make his England debut well if he can get in the team but the way England are playing at the moment he probably will get in the team soon. Who do you think would be a success in union from league for England players like Jamie Peacock, Leon Pryce, Paul Deacon, Danny McGuire, Stuart Fielden and others.

People don't realise how different these sports are!

The main problem with the farrell switch was they didnt know, and still dont, where to play him! He doesnt really have the pace to play centre or the aggression to play back row! He's a class all round rugby player but not really suited to the union game imvho!

Jonathan Davies (from Wales) did it a number of years back. He was union, then went to League then back again, iirc.
he was very good at rugby union but as I don't follow league I have no idea how he did there.
