There we go, we got all worked up over nothing!
Here
David Pickering has said the ELV's will be implemented in all competitions:
“In Wales all 13 new ELVs approved by the IRB will be part of every game so that we can all clearly see how the new rules modernise and improve the spectacle of rugby for supporters and the enjoyment of all the players who take part,†said Pickering, who, claimed booklets and explanatory DVDs about the new laws have been issued to all the WRU clubs.
That is at odds with O’Neill’s claim that Wales reneged on an agreement to introduce all original 23 ELVs, not just the agreed 13, in some kind of tournament here"

Alright then captain un-serious. I take it everyone on the internet can understand a cleverly disguised joke, apart from me of course. In that case I'm off to fix my sarcasm detector since it was so blindingly obvious.

So how's that going to work? Most of the games the Welsh regions play won't be in Wales.
Will an EDF game in England follow the traditional laws while a game from the same group in Wales work under the ELV's? Or will this apply to internationals? In which case, how will it work in the upcoming 6 Nations?
It's all getting silly now.

Batman and Robin to the rescue!
Has the RFU officially claimed that they will not be trialling the ELV's next season? Dullonien just showed us that the Welsh regions will be...which will cause complications if the RFU are going to reject them.

The RFU line was that the ELVs will be implemented as planned. The GP clubs are currently training for the ELVs and haven't said anything about any change.

Yep, I was on a tandem with some seriously false information from John O'Neill, so I apologize to the respective Unions.

You know what this looks like ?
Some NH rugby personell made a bit of a ruckuss, very under the radar to bait John O Neil into the whole thing, then made him look like an idiot whilst they reasure the rest of the world that they will indeed be trialing the ELVs.
:lol:
I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened, John O'Neill seems to warrant it.

British Isles. End Of.
Haha, you don't help your credibility when you come up with rubbish like that, what does J'ON have to do with anything? You have no argument.
5-1 World Cups? The quality of the NH is consistently behind that of the SANZAR nations, I don't think that's why the home nations refused to trial the ELV's. Basically it comes down to the prevailing attitude of the RFU since the formation of the game to refuse any change that doesn't benefit them wholly. For example the formation of Rugby League was caused by the pig-headedness of Rugby Union to give players some kind of insurance if they get injured, plus pay I spose.
The All Blacks back in the day used a 2-3-2 scrum that was tremendously effective yet it was banned as it was too difficult for the home nations to fight against. Hell, I'll can get you an article written by Spiro Zavos on this very subject if you want, basically showing the RFU are, and have always been, afraid of change as the 'old boys' have thier fingers in every pie and they are afraid this will hurt their position.
Not even trialling the ELV's after agreeing to is despicable in every way, let them stew in thier mediocrity I say.

In that case, as we still own you and the queen is still your monarch, you're also British. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

f*** you both, I'm Scottish not British. Though legally and technically I am a British citizen, I don't consider myself British because I don't enjoy the concept of being British or how people associate the word Britian.
As for the 'our monarchy' bullshit, they've done nothing for hundreds of years but serves as a tourist attraction and use up public money. In short f*** you, it may be the British Isles, and Scotland may (for the time being) be a part of them, but I refused to be refered to as British, not through any patriotic ignorance or stonewall arrogannce, just through personal preferance.
That's not to say I don't dislike the English, I have some English friends and went out with an English girl for a considerable length of time, so don't try that one. It's a bone of contention for a considerable ammount of Scottish people, I can't speak for my Welsh or Irish cousins.
I won't debate this further, after all this is a rugby form...not a political 'who-is-from-where' forum.
I like the idea of th ELV's, I'll admit. The Tri-Nations games so far have been enthrawling and well worth dragging myself out of bed on a Saturday morining atfer 2 hours sleep nursing a hangover strong enough to flatten a small island.
Although it seems apparent that none of the NH boards have officially flat out rejected them, I still thenk it'd be a foolish move not to at leasy try them out.
I think a major factor is stoicism.
I will agree that the weather in NH isn't best suited to the ELV's and it will force some countries to alter there game plans, but I see the ELV's as more of a kick up the arse to developing the game, so it's more enjoyable to watch and possibly play.
Personally, seeing both teams kickers fight it out, trying to force the other team into making minor infringments so they can have a glorified penalty shoot-out isn't my idea of a great game. Sure, it's a sound way to get some points on the board in the early going, and I don't mind that, it's just when you watch a weekend of 6N rugby and on average only see 2 tries scored...that's what annoys and bores me.

Oi! I was saying the same thing as you dummy. I may be "British" according to the ******* socialists, but I consider myself English first and English only.

The guy is an utter knob, at least Francis "the Red" Baron has the sense to keep his mouth shut in public. Also, shame on the media down there for jumping on the O'Neill bandwagon as though his words were straight from the gob of Jesus H. Christ himself. The British & Commonwealth Press has to be some of the very worst on the planet these days. Its a sad day when the Washington Post is a far better standard for journalism than that of The Daily Telegraph (of the UK) or The Age.
