As for the kicking game that England is employing. I think the best thing would be for them to beat the Boks, just so that the points system comes under more intense scrutiny. It's ridiculous that a team can win the world cup without scoring many tries at all, and just kicking. What boring bollocks! Hey we can't win - lets change the rules....

bobby12 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Well there was nothing between the teams. It came down to a few stupid mistakes by england giving away penalties, and the ref stealing that try from us. But thats all its and buts, congrats to the south africans, I dont think anyone can really begrudge them coming away winners. Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The highlight for me was when England crossed for that disallowed try. Tough call that one. I wouldn't want to be the video ref that time. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Experimental Law Variations Poposed changes to the game: From the Telegraph: "The process has been on-going for over a year, beginning in Stellenbosch in South Africa and including trial games in Australia, New Zealand, France, Ireland and England during the county championship. There is a proposal to adopt them for a more rigorous, extended examination in next year's Super 14. A decision on that is pending." The principal ELVs are: - to allow hands in a ruck, - to allow a maul to be pulled down, - to have an offside law five metres back from a scrum, - to outlaw passing back into the 22 for a clearance kick, - to allow passing backwards at a quick lineout - to have no prescribed limit on the number of players in a lineout. - Getting rid of the corner flag to let a player dive for the tryline without fear of being deemed in touch on contact directive to downgrade many infringements from a penalty to a free-kick. Put simply, only foul play and persistent infringement would result in a penalty. Full article Link to post Share on other sites
