[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 1054628, member: 45355"] true, and sadly a great example of the flawed approach of WR, they make a change, more subs, and so we loose the fatigue factor from the game which in the past would have lead to games opening up, more holes. so now we have games that can be tackle/scrum fests for the full 80mins....do we undo the rule that introduced this situation, go to 5 subs unless injury or something?....no...we make ANOTHER change, less people, to try and force what we had before which was open running rugby and lifting in the lineouts, they then realise they might fall from a great height, do we remove lifting?....no...we just punish contact in the air..but now we have to judge intent to tackle in the air and just accidents...when we could have just gone back to no lifting I saw the highlights of the 93 NPC final on the socials the other day, bloody hell that was a great game [/QUOTE]
