this is what my post is about

I'm starting to think that TV/commentators...and even the fern...is part of whats killing my enjoyment of rugby.

At the game, we had an even mix of kiwis and aussies around us...everyone was chatting and talking at half time about how enjoyable the game was (barring the obvious like QT)..reading through the thread and moments like sotutu's kick...everyone was cheering around us about trying to play awesome....and then i get on here and see 10-15 posts about it essentially being the worst play in the history of rugby. Im sure with replays and the commentators it more clear to analyse but at the time it was a few seconds of up out of our chairs....hmmm

re the end....the crowd were all yelling for him to hurry up...was really blatant in real time

I saw a tweet that summed it up nicely for me....if this is the first shot in a war against time wasting...then great, all for it...if this is a random one off implementation of the rules...then its harsh...correct but harsh

some people that i thought played well in real time have been lambasted so once again a fascinating example of how different the game is without replays and commentary
