Quote: ArthurClues "I do try and enjoy RU, and lord knows I've watched the internationals on TV since I was 5 or 6, but Saturday's was a classic example of why it so frequently dissapoints me. Barely a couple of minutes of open rugby in the entire match and the team who wanted to play it (NZ) were stifled by the unfathomable rules and the oppositions desire to exploit them.'"
Agreed. The international game is just so much better though. Don’t you think watching England v Tonga almost feels like an amateur game (atmosphere/buzz wise) after watching big Union Internationals? Incredible how far behind we’ve fallen…..
