[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 336770, member: 20605"] Maybe so, but I don't believe they won the 6 Nations (and Grand Slam) in 2009 playing turgid rugby all the time. The 30-21 win over France at Croke was an a pretty exciting game to watch, even for a neutral. I think in the NH you have to play very much to the conditions. 6N is played in February & March & the British Isles ain't exactly renowned for its balmy climate and hard/fast playing surfaces at that time of year. Also, while I'm talking playing surfaces, when are some of your clubs going to do something about the awful pitches there? I see Magner's League and Premiership matches played in paddocks I wouldn't even graze sheep in!! How about some turf culture!!!?? [/QUOTE]
