[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 158086"] This is where I beg to differ. Why do people watch sport? And why does anyone pay MASSIVE money to watch a sporting final? I would hazzard a guess at entertainment? Afterall, this is the essence of sports watching is it not? So, should we therfore be aiming to make the way you win games and entertaining play one in the same? Enter the Stellenbosch law experiment. Makes perfect sense. And on a side note, the law for pulling down mauls has so far been proven to be safer than the current law. The arguement being that currently you are not expecting to be pulled to the turf, and when it does happen (which is all the time anyway) players are not prepared for it and get hurt. Instead, if you're expecting to be pulled down then you're more likely to fall safely and not be hurt. But these facts aside, I just don't think it needs to be changed. [/QUOTE]
