I just noticed that the ARU has decided to reduce points for penalty and drop goals for the National Rugby Championship. Attacking rugby is set to be the flavour of the revamped National Rugby Championship, with changes to the rules rewarding teams that choose to attack.

ARU chief executive Bill Pulver said: “While maintaining the integrity of the game, we want to see a more creative style of rugby being played where risk and attack are rewarded. So you’d like to think instead of key times in a game people kicking for goal, they’d kick for touch and play onâ€
Other changes include:
Scrums: Forwards will get just 30 seconds to set a scrum, barring legitimate injuries, with it able to be moved if the injury is only minor. The defending scrum half will also not be allowed to follow the ball in between the flanker and number 8.
Mauls: Referees will try to stop the ‘hold up tackle’ by making sure that defenders who hold a ball carrier up don’t immediately collapse a maul to force a turnover.
Time: The referees will decide when penalties have been awarded during stoppage time, allowing teams to kick for touch before time expires.
Bonus points: Teams will no longer be awarded a bonus point for scoring four tries in a game, with the bonus point now awarded to the team who wins by three or more tries.
The reason the ARU has decided to change the rules of the game is because SUPER RUGBY IS BORING !!! The Super League Final was boring !!!
Like I tried to say before - the game is in big trouble. The only reason they are changing the rules is because the game is too boring to watch !!!
Bla Bla Bla
Yep it is me again - BB24 (Version 2)
I just loved some of the the responses I got - before I was banned - haven't laughed so much in years.
When I read the ARU are changing the rules BECAUSE THE GAME IS BORING - I nearly p***d myself laughing remembering all the intelligent and thought provoking responses I got last time.
Go the Wallabies !! I will record and watch it later [BLINK][/BLINK]
