[QUOTE="shtove, post: 291639"] [b] [/b] The Autumn internationals gave us some good rugby, but there's still a lot of shite out there. Teh Mite reckons the Saffer/Arg ping-pong can be cured by repealing the law on passing back in to the 22. But the breakdown advantage given to defenders is the thing that slows the attack and allows brick wall defence out wide. That defence makes ponderous teams fearful of risking their possession in midfield, because the counter-attack on a turnover will wipe out all their penalty kick points in ten seconds - especially if their midfield attack is made up of pussies like JDV/Olivier/Jacobs/Fourie/Tait/Hipkiss/Name any England centre/Anyone but BOD. Anyway, wise-ish words from Andrew, and I guess a hint of how things will turn out for RWC 11. England will be a force, but I wonder how they're going to attract the deserting crowds! <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/8391643.stm"]http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/8391643.stm[/url] [/QUOTE]
