@barbarian said in Force v British Lions:
I thought O'Keeffe was pretty good. If that's the style the tour will be played, bring it on! Let it flow, good competition on the ground but leeway given to the attacking team.
All for fewer whistles esp at breakdown. But can’t see why we should give one side an extra advantage in any contest?
Team in possession already has an advantage - they decide where/on what terms breakdowns are going to happen. If they can’t use that advantage to get support to tackled player & to create, use & exploit space buggered if I can see why we should give them licence to cheat a bit to keep the ball.
Fewer more fiercely contested rucks not more bullshit ones produces better quality rugby.
