[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1088711, member: 73144"] We’ve got an odd mix of a lot more regimented and predictable plays and ambition that, in the past, players just wouldn’t have attempted anywhere other than in a Baa Baas game. Just a theory, but maybe the increased fitness levels and organised defences now make it harder to make a break but a higher % are actually finished. The one other change I’d make is that the line out from a penalty to touch wouldn’t go to the attacking team. The maul from a 5m line out is predictable and tedious in equal measure and you only have to look how high hookers now feature in try scoring charts (2 of the top 4 in the GP). Possession or territory but not both, maybe with an exception for serious foul play. [/QUOTE]
