[QUOTE="Mcfadden, post: 745730, member: 72865"] Good. I'm especially pleased about the tough stance on injury fakers. If there's one thing that irks me it's magically having anywhere from 3-4-5 guys go down with injury when the pressure is on their team. Yeah, they're not injured, they're wasting time and trying to halt momentum. You should have 30 seconds at the most to decide whether you're going to continue or not. Unless you need to be carried on a stretcher, you don't need to be rolling around on the field. Same as getting something taped up. If you haven't done that in a set amount of time - not our problem. Time on. As for diving, I love Argentina, but they are guilty for this big time. I'm not saying every other nation can hold up clean hands - I'm not naive. But there are certain countries who are worse than others, and the Argies are in this camp. If we are going to grow rugby on an international scale, particularly in South America or somewhere that football is like a religion, then they have to understand that players behave differently in our sport. The Hollywood stuff is quite sickening actually, there's just no place for it. [/QUOTE]
