Rugby is always Rugby Union. Rugby League is never referred to as Rugby, though it may be shortened to League.
In Australia, when I was going through school, in the places that Rugby Union and Rugby League were played (basically the states of Queensland and New South Wales ... the rest of the country plays Australian Rules, and that's a whole different kettle of fish), Rugby Union was what was traditionally played in the private schools (equivalent to a UK Public School), and Rugby League was played in the state government run schools.
These days many of the schools have switched to Soccer as it is ostensibly a safer game with less injuries.
