[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 158139"] I personally don't have much of a problem with the way some teams play. Fine, William Webb Ellis, picked the ball up and ran with it, but the game has moved on from there (well there wasn't a game back then). The game has two parts, forewards and backs. As is always said, Forewards decide who wins, the backs decide by how much. England for example, rarely win by much these days (fine they did v Wales). I'm sure England won't be content with keeping it a foreward only game, they will attempt to add the running game to their arsenal, because this will make them a better team. The game of rugby often goes in swings and roundabouts, soon enough running rugby will be back on top. The only rule I would change is the rolling maul, doesn't make any sense to me, surely it's offside when there's 7 others infront of the man with the ball! Saying all that, I of course prefer a fast running game, but it doesn't always work out that way. This is deffinately true of World Cup knockout games, where teams and players ofter seem more scared of making a mistake than anything else. But hey, that's the way it goes. [/QUOTE]
