[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 204896"] Oh goody, with nothing to really add any further he's moved onto a bit of Pom-bashing. Feeling better now? It's also clear he's never watched a Premiership game in his life if all he can talk about is "aerial bombardments". We don't all play like Wilkinson or O'Choka, Sonny. Quite right..........but rugby union out of all the codes is almost the best at shooting itself in the foot.Holding out on *any* professionalism for 100+ years (f**k they were so stubborn that rugby league had to be created) and then once it has happened not fully embracing it and then dragging there feet on any changes.Then you have people complaining that the great unwashed attend matches and don't clap politely and i could go on and on and on. Other codes have realised long ago that amateurism on any other level than your local competition on the weekend is unworkable and that change is necessary and you must fully embrace professionalism if you are going to be serious about advancing your code. So yes this bulls**t with the IRB is just the tip of the iceberg. [/b][/quote] Nicely put. [/QUOTE]
