If this rule becomes permenant we might as well jack it all in and play league. The real beauty of union is it is a game for all sizes and a game of depth and substance. Lets celebrate that fact rather than make all players and teams one dimensional. [/b]
You are exactly right. Maybe in the short term Rugby will look Rugby-ish, but I swear you have to look ten years on. If you devalue forward work, you devalue the need of forwards and will start to slowly over that time period impliment a different sort of forward, one who looks more like a league forward. Matt Dunning, nor John Hayes, are prepared to transform into league-styled props.
Does anyone really think Faan Rautenback looks like he could be a League Forward????
Damn it ELV's! Leave Faan to do the work God built him to do!!!
