The State of the Game

As a bit of a joke theory.
Honestly. If you are home on a wet weekend and you feel like watching some sport, but only have FTA TV. You can watch Castrol Motorsport 52 weekends a year, or a Neighbours omnibus. A few years ago I think you could watch Castrol Motorsport or if you didn't fancy that switch to the other former giant of FTA TV and watch CRC Motorsport.
No shortage of young pricks in NZ in fast cars hooning about.
I don't know when I've last seen 6 young guys in a park playing a game of pick-up touch rugby. Probably 20 years ago in London ... Maybe it still happens in the more polynesian parts of town?

Ha this can go in here as it is an unintended consequence of one of the recent (stupid) rule changes...
-
@taniwharugby smart. hell of a strike too
-
@taniwharugby perhaps don't drop kick it straight to the opposition first five.....
-
@kiwimurph fair point, but given we know plenty of players practice them...

Got no problem with that
The defensive team stopped the offensive team from scoring, they didn’t turnover the ball.
There was always a sense of inevitability about the 5m scrum for holding the ball up over the line. 9/10 it led to a try and/or a card for the defensive team.
If the defensive team kicks badly and/or the offensive team kicks superbly, why shouldn’t that be rewarded?
After all, less than a minute earlier the offensive team almost scored a try.

@mikethesnow it's a stupid rule, i really don't like it.

Last time Australia, South Africa and New Zealand all lost on the same day was in November 2002.
I was just about to say this has not been a good weekend for the traditional SH powerhouses.

North Hemisphere club game has improved massively in the last ten years and their international sides are reaping the benefit.
The return legs in June will be interesting.
The boks miss Faf a bit I think. Wobs copped some injuries. AB rotation affected their cohesion.

@kiwiwomble said in The State of the Game:
@kruse agreed
i will add that as the premier rugby team in the world...we should be preparing for that, you dont rock up on a rainy day in turf boots and complain things should be different
The advice in the post was good but this didn't age well.

@nostrildamus sorry, should have added “former” or “aspiring”
