The aforenetioned list of seventy sports is alphabetically correct apart from two sports. - it lists Rugby Union before Rugby League.

Being the close season and getting tetchy, I wrote to whoever:
Dear Sir,
I would like to inform who devised the excellent list of sports 'to be inspired by' mistakenly placed Rugby Union before Rugby League.
I can only assume, given the precise alphabetical placements of the other sports, that this was another deliberate attempt by some pseudo- toff to relegate the greatest game.
I do accept that Rugby Union was first in paying its players - the 1880 tour to Australia. An act which was followed by over a century of dualism and prejudice.
I am asking you to edit the list to perfect order.
Sincerely,
Gill O' Mild
