[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 685569, member: 63264"] That's exactly what I'm saying, in rugby you can't "park the bus", due the nature of our sport. First you have to defend more ground, in rugby you have to defend 70 meters wide, in football you have to defend only the goal line, 7 meters. That's 10 times more land to defend in rugby than football. Also when you have possession in football, you can hold the ball, you can waste time. In rugby is more difficult to waste time because possession is always in dispute: set pieces and rucks. And when you have possession, you can only kick forward or go back, then you are forced to attack. In football thanks to its permissive rules you are not forced to attack and you can waste time and then get a win through the penalty shoot-out. So rugby is more predictable than the football but at the same time is fairer than football. [/QUOTE]
