No head high tackles in both are illegal Mack.

I wouldnt say League is rougher than Union,I actually think Union is more brutal,most of the contact is on the ground so you risk getting trodden all over,the odd eye gouge.
League is more fast paced and contact is made like you saw in vid 3 the objective of the defense is to dislodge the ball as the opp only get 6 tackles to make it to the try line.Thats why League the hits are harder the impact is greater,theyre both as rough as each other.

League is more Ferocious than rough esp if you watch the NRL(aussie RL) those guys know how to flatten a 18stone bloke,union is slower,more tactical game its all field position in some respects similar to Americal Throwball
