[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 132730"] Now, thinking back, you're actually right. England do tend to kick a lot (which was what I was trying to get across) but yeah, nine times out of ten, it doesn't quite go into touch and grants the likes of Steyn and the All Blacks backline a half break. Nevertheless, would England learn from this? Well, we'd have to wait and see.[/b][/quote] I doubt it. If the laws do get implemented at all levels of rugby, four years down the line and you'll see the England full back of the day being pinged for trying to clear in his 22 [i]yet again[/i]. Like I said, its for their own good! Actually, because I don't think the full backs of England would quite get what the iRB are trying to tell them through this ban on clearing from your 22, they'd just try and get out of the 22 [i]then[/i] kick which would mean exactly the same situation, only the All Black back is catching the ball halfway inside his own half instead of on the halfway line.
