Why is gay rugby SO popular in the UK? 🏉 And why are there apparently no gay rugby league clubs?

At the Bingham Cup 2026 in Brisbane, we sat down with Johnathan Alexander Zemlik, who plays both rugby union and rugby league, to talk about the community, the culture, and the surprising differences between the two codes.

Why has LGBTQ+ rugby taken off in one but not the other?

Are the captions placement trying to cover their maspread or directing our eyes?

Also, rugby is a bloody good sport! my sister plays for a women’s rugby team in Wales and I go and watch her every week. As much as she tries to persuade me to join their local men’s rugby team, I’ve never played rugby in my life.
