Another year but sadly the same old Crap to listen to...

It all looks like rugby league nowadays. Man and ball go to ground and everyone stands off waiting for it to come out a la rugby league. utter rubbish. I've stopped watching it. It's a completely different game to when I played.

I can udnerstand where you are coming from with this, but I think if you still played you would understand why. there is much more fitness and power in the game these days and if all the forwards pile into a ruck that is already lost then effectively you are cutting down your defensive options. Whenever we train we are always focussing on not over committing to the rucks. If it's lost stay out and help defend. If the ball is there to be won then by all means go and get stuck in.

I don't agree that it's like rugby league at all, it's just a much more professional game.
