[QUOTE="BPM, post: 915637, member: 59968"] To keep it super simple, the main differences between the SH and NH is that the former is quicker, with less kicking and more ‘ball-in-hand’ rugby, while the latter tends to involve more emphasis on the set pieces and kicking. Skill levels are typically higher in the SH so you’ll see more offloads etc. Clearly those are sweeping generalisations, but I would expect these to be fairly agreeable to most posters. What may be making it trickier for you to see a difference is that we’ve had a hot summer in Europe without much rain. That means that the pitches are a bit harder and more conducive to faster, running rugby than they will be in a couple of months’ time. [/QUOTE]
