[QUOTE="lewseys got it covered, post: 120609"] NONONONO infringments at the ruck is part of the game. Its playing on the borderline level to win. Diving is completeley different. Its blatent lying - the ruck is such a tricky area that even the best back rowers winning the ball are going to get blown up. And slowing the ball is a tactic. Diving is disgusting and is the height of bad sportsmanship. In diving you're getting the opposition man in trouble and that's cowardly. At least when you infringe in the ruck you can get yourself raked as a punishment. Divers get rewarded with a free kick. As for stamping on peoplese faces - that's just a friendly hello. And instances off the top of my head. Colin Charvis was knocked out by a tackle from Jerry Colins and Umaga left the defensive line went straight for Chharvis to clear his air way. Erm there was a scrum from a game and i don't remeber who was playing but the player in the front row shouted neck as he felt it go and the opposition front row stopped immediatley. And the very fact that every week us players go out to hurt the opposition (legally) on the field and on the scoreboard and dominate them, get into spur of the moment punch ups but at the end of the game it stays on the feild and we look each other in the eye and shake hands. None of this storming off in football (which is probably linked to the diving) [/QUOTE]
