[QUOTE="joniebee, post: 154659"] Yes, they had a very bad tight 5 but illegal tactics? Obviously you see something no other analyst in the world of rugby has ever seen.... League is stop start, rugby is supposed to be free flowing, I don't think whoever originated Rugby (aside from the original myth) didn't envisage the quagmire of play the English play...the myth of the creation by William Webb Ellis tells of him picking up the football and running with it, not picking it up and lying on the ground while his mates laid on top of him with another player waiting behind them to kick it into the goals.... I hate to say I will have to go for South Africa for the first time ever, simply because at least they play the game with the original spirit of the game in mind...
