[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1051145, member: 56232"] The thing is you can simplify the rules but the result of that is more gets left to interpretation, which is kinda the problem people are complaining about. Simpler rules also leave more room for exploitation and will invariably start a process of clarifying again and before you know it, you are back at complex rules. Rugby is a complex and dynamic game. Such a game cannot by its very nature have simple rules and maintain any of consistency in how they are applied. I mean can you name any laws that could actually be simplified in a way that would be beneficial? It's like governments forever saying they will simplify laws and tax systems before realising it didn't achieve what they wanted. The complexity of the laws is not the issue, it's the inherent difficulty of reffing the game that is the issue. Short of some sort of AI with cameras all over the place that can see every infringement, we will never get that. On another note, it would be interesting if we ever did train AI to function as refs.
