	of course by premier league, I mean English here. Can't call the quiz English teams though as cricket includes a team from Wales, and rugby league includes a team from Wales and one from France.

	Really tough to get them all. I got a bit fed up typing in 'shire#, but this was compensated by it accepting eg 'Wolves' in 2 columns at once. Well done Jon.

	Cracking quiz

	Can someone please enlighten me as to the difference between rugby league and rugby union? Got all 20 football plus eleven rugby clubs I've heard of in my visits to the UK.

	Steesh:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 13:21 GMT		3 points
	I thought i did well getting 53, but seems that is VERY average :(. @Tobinw - During the mid-1800's Rugby started to split into two seperate but similar sports mainly due to class differences (League being more working class) and a number of rule changes occured. A couple of differences are the number of players on the pitch and in League you can only be tackled 5 times, then you have to cede possesion. Great quiz though, I think it's got potential for publishing for sure.

	@tobinw: further to the answer above, League is played with 13 players, Union with 15 and thethe reason for the split was due to professionalism. Union only turned professional about 20 years ago, whereas League was professional back in the 1800s. Despite both being rugby, they are very different games, with League being closer to American Football. Few players have successfully played both.

	@tobinw: there are a number of differences, although in both games the essential object of the game is to get touch the ball down over your opponent's line whilst only passing the ball backwards (or kicking). League has 13 players a side whilst union has 15. In league, possession is handed over after every six tackles (or before if an error is made). In union, there is no real limit. An excellent quiz this one by the way, deserves to be published.

	Thanks for the comments guys... hardly anyone played for ages then over 100 today! League and union are indeed similar in prinicple but very different in practice. In England, League is mostly played in the North, at least that is where most of the top teams are based.

	@Peanut: Yes well, most of them aren't as big as the US teams money-wise... better sports though ;) Nah, they're all good!

	Great quiz, really got me thinking multi-sportingly!

	brilliant quiz.

	ferdy1985:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 22:31 GMT		3 points
	Excellent quiz - great idea too - just one gripe - you have not spelt 'Somerset' correctly.

	QuizKingJon:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 22:37 GMT		3 points
	Thanks - think that is fixed now. You could still get it by typing Sabres, but yes thanks for spotting that.

	tobinw:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 00:28 GMT		4 points
	Thanks for the explanations everyone! Greatly appreciated.

	ferdy1985:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 10:25 GMT		2 points
	No problem - I think also this has got potential for publication, definitely. Great job!

	Brilliant quiz! Am kicking myself over the football and cricket answers I missed; and resolving to find out more about League (would be seriously annoyed if I missed any Union team - see my name for a clue ;o) ) Just one point/question ... Northamptonshire is before Nottinghamshire alphabetically, don't know if it's an error or I'm missing a reason for them to be the other way round. Really hope this gets published :o)

	JayZed:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 19:41 GMT		0 points
	Great quiz. I was a bit stymied by the Rugby League clubs. Would be good if the cricket would accept things like "Northants" and "Notts".

	caerodyn:	Dec 1st, 2010 at 13:41 GMT		1 point
	Would be nice if you could include Cardiff Blues, Ospreys, Newport Gwent Dragons, Scarlets, Edinburgh, Glasgow Warriors and Ulster as UK teams playing top level rugby union.

	QuizKingJon:	Dec 31st, 2010 at 16:37 GMT		0 points
	Good point Caerodyn... I guess it is really 'English' teams, but I put UK because of a few Welsh teams in the super league and cricket (and in fact a French team as well).

	Great quiz Jon, really enjoyable - just the right level of 'tricksy'.

	QuizKingJon:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 18:48 GMT		1 point
	Super League updated (one team has changed name, one team has been replaced).

	QuizKingJon:	Aug 26th, 2012 at 19:17 GMT		3 points
	Yay, Editor's pick! Only took the quiz 3 years! First recognition from Sporcle, good stuff :)

	QuizKingJon:	Aug 26th, 2012 at 19:38 GMT		3 points
	Updated rugby union and football for 2012-2013 seasons.

	Roo130996:	Aug 31st, 2012 at 18:53 GMT		2 points
	Absolutely top notch! One of the best quizzes I've played in a while, even though I went blank! Got all the footty, and half of the rugby, and half of the cricket! Keep it up Jon!!!

	Widnes wasn't in alphabetical order

	TheP1990:	Sep 11th, 2012 at 00:02 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz. Got 58 and seeing as out of those leagues I only watch Super League I'm pleased with that. Missed three football ones and would have got all the cricket ones but with a couple of seconds to spare I remembered Leicestershire but when I put Leicester it accepted for the union.

	lancsroyal:	Sep 11th, 2012 at 12:30 GMT		2 points
	I'm pleased to get all the Rugby League teams as I don't follow the sport. Of course, living in Warrington it's hard not to know about them. One thing-the nicknames of the cricket teams could do with updating. Hampshire haven't been the Hawks for several years now (unfortunately).

	QuizKingJon:	Sep 11th, 2012 at 22:15 GMT		2 points
	@lancsroyal: Thanks, didn't occur to me that they were now called the Royals. Also seems that Somerset have dropped the 'Sabres' nickname, and Surrey went back from Brown Caps to Lions before dropping the nicknames completely.

	Excellent, just one thing, Stoke should come after Southampton alphabetically. Otherwise a great quiz! :)

	As a proud St Helenser, it fills my heart with joy to see the name of my smallish town on a list of such great names

	queenerised:	Feb 10th, 2013 at 11:20 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz, I really enjoyed it.

	archangelffx:	Apr 19th, 2013 at 08:17 GMT		1 point
	Loved playing this quiz, very refreshing to focus on popular sports. Just as a note if you're still updating this, Yorkshire's cricket team are now known as the Yorkshire Vikings (although I don't know anyone who wouldn't just type in the county, anyway) :)

	QuizKingJon:	Apr 21st, 2013 at 09:47 GMT		1 point
	Thanks - I didn't realise that they had changed. Need to update the football and rugby union soon once the seasons end.
