Surely the RU game has found its ultimate level at last.

What a complete farce !!

My only serious question is why bother with the rest of the game ?

Its always been a kicking competition, its now just been recognised.

And do you know this for a fact? This is the first time that a penalty shootout has ever been done in a RU match, so it's very very unlikely that before each game or in training sessions, all 22 players practice kicking goals just incase this happens.



So what you are saying is that, despite never kicking a rugby ball, a 22stone hooker should be able to kick a goal from 22m out? I don't think it's that easy.

You Sir, are an idiot.

Oh come off it, it is that easy.
Pressure? maybe, but 22m to kick a goal, you should be able to back heel it over from there

It would be much more fun and difficult if the players had to put there forehead on the corner flag and run round it 30 times then attempt the kick.

i thought it was great, never seen something like that in Rugby before and it will be a long time till it happens again

i surpose its a bit like having a penalty shot-out in football without the goalkeeper, except you have to kick it over the bar rather than under it.
For me it showed the sport up for what it is, a boring talentless competition, played by fat toffee nosed men and run by men out of the dark ages.
