[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 205737"] The sad thing about your whole argument, saying Rugby won, is that Union is already a hybrid Mite. Just because you have grown used to this form of Union doesn't mean it's the REAL Rugby Union. Get some footage of matches that were played back in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's, and you'll notice that rugby today is very different from what the original was. It was [u]not[/u] forward based (in fact is was VERY open, all the props looked like Niel Back and Phil Waugh), there were no lifting in the line outs, there was no 'mark' rule, there were no yellow or red cards, scrums were less organised (no touch, pause, engage. In fact the ref had no problem with the loosies no being bound when the ball was put in). So your argument is extremely weak, in fact it's useless. New laws and rules have been added over time constantly, to improve the game, so in it's very essence Rugby Union is an ever changing game. End of. [/QUOTE]
