Always the SH trailing new laws to try and get more bums on seats. Why don't we just merge league and union so the Aussies can be happy, sod the rest of the world.
Instead of changing the laws why don't they just enforce the current ones.
Yeah, the Kiwis are trying to merge union with league to make us Aussies happy and obviously deal with the lack of popularity Union is suffering in NZ. Not at all like Europe, where you love Union above all else... oh wait, you mostly just watch soccer and no one has a record even close to NZ's AND the new laws were requested by WR in DUBLIN.
I said Aussies not kiwis, please learn to read.
Really?
"Always the SH trailing new laws to try and get more bums on seats."
Firstly, Last time I looked, NZ, Australia, Fiji. Tonga, Samoa, Argentina, South Africa and a couple of dozen other rugby playing nations are all in the SH
Secondly, this thread is about the new laws being trialled IN NEW ZEALAND. (Clue, the big Mitre 10 Cup table at the top of the page!) So even if you meant Aussies (which I doubt, I think you're just back-pedalling because you realise you got it wrong but can't admit it) then your statement was irrelevant, so you are wrong.
Thirdly, as has been pointed out to you twice now, Law Trails are done at the behest and the request of World Rugby, NOT individual National Unions.
Always so aggressive, not sure why all the responses on this thread seem so personal.
Well, maybe if you posted facts when making a statement that purports to be "fact" instead stuff you made up yourself, you wouldn't pis people off
Thinking about how the new laws could affect the preferred body type for the breakdown, I wonder if this went global, we would see the Sean O'Brien type become preferred? If the new goal is to stay upright and contest without need for hands on floor, plus not getting knocked off feet by arriving players. Then shorter, stockier players that are difficult to get under may have an advantage.
However, this would have a knock on effect on line out options potentially being reduced.
Anyone who gets ****** off or angry reading stuff on here needs to get a life.
This is a forum, people disagree, that's part of the colour of life.
Really can't stand these new laws.
Also, I've never understood the inconsistency of refs penalising some players for "sealing" off I.e. Collapsing on their player to protect the ball and in other rucks players clearly being off of their feet and arching over the player with their hands on the ground and not being penalised. Hopefully these rules will also clear this inconsistency up.
