Tough one, it's probably not just casual fans. Look at the grief Borthwick got on here and else where for the lack of attacking rugby. Dull, predictable etc.do causal fans actually like more points? Obviously there is a sweet spot but tries stop being special if people score all the time.
People want something they understand. And rugby had just made the game more complicated in hopes of creating more scoring.
The sport has a reputation of kick and clap as it is. As a fan I get how people can find joy in a 9-3 slug fest. Put that's one for the purists. Modern sport is just as much an entertainment industry now. The problem is working out what's entertainment for the masses of casual fans that prem rugby desperately needs.
