[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1163654, member: 86934"] Imo the issues were simple. As a travelling fan the tournament wasnt run great, and for the first time I didnt feel the French were very good hosts. There were a spate of stories of violence and crime too. But that wasnt the tournaments problem, that has to come down to world rugby. Refs have been hung out to dry, every game being left to the mercy of ref perception, and there are just too many obviously unlikable issues at the tackle, breakdown and scrum. This has led to negative low risk rugby, SA won because they spoiled games. This isnt good for the sport. [/QUOTE]
