I slightly disagree with that due to that nowadays the scrum half generally defends at the centre position, meaning that player is away from doing much tackling. In doing that the scrum half is protected and while required to do the occassional bit of tackling he is able to focus most of his energy on leading the team attacking wise.

I think the forwards including the hooker set the defensive pattern. It's the centre of the field and it's always the starting point of any attacking move from the opposition. If the centre of the field moves up quick and gets into the faces of the pivots from the attacking team then there is more chance of any move breaking down. If you win the centre of the field then you have a good chance of winning the game, which is why a good set of forwards are a neccessity.

I have got over it.

I posted some opinions with detailed reasons yet your fans seem to have delusions of grandeur and that anyone who doesn't think your team is the best team in the world is wrong instead of engaging in debate.

Never hear of an 'off day'?

At the end of the season we'll still be in the top 3 and reaching finals whereas you'll be in middle table mediocrity struggling to reach the play offs so I couldn't care less.

Sorry if I've offended you. I was only being playful. To engage in debate, I struggle to see how a side whose forwards have been as completely dominated as you suggest throughout a match could score seven tries in that match.

Considering you say that your pack totally dominated ours, and he was in that pack, then yes, he was a help.

Can we leave this thread now, KR was last week the future is Catalan.
