[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 434663, member: 20605"] The 2007 Final had 94 kicks in play, (48 by South Africa, 46 by England), that is one every 51 seconds. Most of those kicks were aimless ping-pong. I sat and watched the final up to about 10 minutes after half time, at which point it dawned on me that neither side was the least bit interested in creating anything or doing anything else other than continuing the same boring kick-kick-kick-kick. At this point, I gave up, turned off the TV and went outside to do some gardening. Watching the lawn grow was a lot more exciting, and if I had need to paint anything, I would have done that too, so that I could experience the excitement of watching it dry. To this day, I have never seen the last 30 minutes of the 2007 final, nor have I ever felt the urge to watch it I find players running with the ball in hand, slick passing, sharp offloads and clever back play exciting. If I was excited by watching players endlessly kicking the ball to each other, I would watch Aussie Rules. [/QUOTE]
