[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 439806, member: 44806"] Don't be absurd. Of course cheating is going against fair play. If we're talking about going out the to be an intrusive, drunken moron [I](a.k.a. Bakkies Botha)[/I] then not only is it plain thuggery but that kind of attitude certainly goes against the spirit of the game. However, if we're discussing cheating when it comes to the technical aspect of rugby, then you're a fool to suggest that players should hold back because overstepping the line when they can get away with it [I]"goes against the spirit of the game." [/I]For starters, rugby has always been about what you can and can't get away with [I](as the quote I mentioned implys) [/I]If you're having trouble grasping that concept then you're either not a rugby player or your incredibly thick; or perhaps both. My point was that if you're not pulled up for a technical infringment [I](as far as the sport of rugby is concerned)[/I] then it might as well can be considered legal for all players until the whistle is blown - in which case you reassess your game. Every player understands this (Richie McCaw best of all) and some players are better than other at applying that logic to their game. [/QUOTE]
