[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1064244, member: 72205"] But that's neutral's from an experienced fan perspective there's a reason we use phrasing like "one for the purists". I like a good arm wrestle (with some backs play) between evenly matched sides who's ambition is thwarted. The issue with watching SA currently (and the Lions and England) is they play with zero ambition and just kick the ball away. Its very hard explaining to anyone who doesn't know rugby why you like rugby watching then play. Stick on any France game currently and its instantly obvious. Also Scrums are literally the biggest turn off for anyone in the game currently because whilst its fun to watch scrums go backwards and collapse they take 5mins of scrum resets to get there, or a penalty is called that only die hard fans have any chance of understanding.
