Converting after scoring Try. Rugby Union or Rugby League?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
Which one is more difficult to convert. Normally when i watch Union players convert after scoring, it seems like a long way to kick. but when i watch league i seems that they have a lesser distance to kick. Also, in a video i saw a dude playing union and he did a drop kick from the half way mark and got it between the posts. SO WHICH IS HARDER TO CONVERT. RUGBY UNION OR RUGBY LEAGUE P.S. im talking about taking the kicks from the sideline.Which one is more difficult to convert.

the kicker takes the ball back to be in line from where the try was scored , both balls are different weight and size. also in rugby once the kicker start his run the ball can be charged down by the opposition

It isn't so much harder but in rugby the defending side can charge the kick so the kicker takes it back a bit further to give him more room. In league, players are not allowed to charge the goal kicker.
