[QUOTE="Stillknox, post: 197620"] Sure that the pick and go needs great technical skills, and sometimes it can be entertaining to watch it - for example in the last France/England game, when they scored a try at the last minute. But sometimes it's just there to kill the game... yesterday Munster has not even tried to score a single dropkick. And to me the fact of diving directly to the grass is opposite to the values of rugby... where is the fighting spirit ? Concerning Pelous, the yellow card was harsh and Quinlan's acting ridiculous. But wait, the man has 35 years old, he played 3 World Cups, won 2 H-Cup, has been captain for France and for Toulouse... he must keep his head cool in games like that. Finally, that's more or less the same debate as the one concerning Zidane's headbut last year... :rolleyes: But anyway, Munster deserved it. Even without playing rugby, they nearly scored two more refused try, and the second one was beautiful - Heymans was just burned by Howlett on this one. [/QUOTE]
