Sorry folks but this is the second game that sent me to sleep.
I know it was wet conditions but too much kicking,with nobody having the balls to run it up from the back.Maybe against aussie,we might see some flair but i am bored of All Black rugby.It might upset a few people but i have a right to my opinion.Rather than all these elvs changing the structure of the game,i would prefer one player to be removed from the backs and play 14 men,rather than 15.All Blacks running flat backlines and very efficient defences,make for few good line breaks.Hence the new 5 metres back rule.If they ran from depth on to the ball,we might get some excitement from the back line! All the teams seem to be running flat backlines now.I will have to go and watch local rugby teams,who are coached properly,to see an attacking and creative backline(with some guts to have a go).All black forwards are going pretty well though but they could do with running onto the ball with pace too,rather than catch it and then start to run.Law of momentum! much harder to tackle.Anybody else feel the same way?
