[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 433892, member: 12312"] You had me agreeing until that part about us being off-side. We are no more offside than South Africa, Australia, England or anyone else at the breakdown. I personally think the offside rulings are pathetically inadequate a lot of times for many international teams. It seems to me that referees are afraid of adding to the already huge number of times they have to blow their whistle. I think the rule should be that all defensive players should be a full metre back (maybe two) from the hind most foot. Not on the hindmost foot as they are now. People will say "how can you properly measure that?" I'd answer, "it's not like they can properly judge the mark they are looking at now and at least it'll keep [B]everyone[/B] back from that hindmost foot well and truly!" [/QUOTE]
