No it's not just you.

I've found for the last few years at least that international RU is more exciting and entertaining than international RL.

I always found union easier to watch at club level. It just seems to flow better. It's often too technical at international level.

Not today it isn’t. A stop start borefest, the last straw for me was that England advantage play must have been about three minutes long, Turned it off after that

The ONLY thing going for it is that it's a close game and that's because nobody has actually scored a try.
Mind you, our own international wasn't exactly a thrill a minute.

Where has all the flair gone - modern rugby all seems to be about the arm wrestle and inventive play has just disappeared.
Fear of losing seems to have over taken the desire to try and win.

You didnt watch England v NZ then wrencat.

Too busy watching some paint dry.

The trouble with any team sport final is they tend to disappoint, the best games are normally the semi finals.
The games come on over the last 5/6 seasons while our games gone backwards.

Thank goodness that’s over !!!!! Whoever creates the most pens wins ...

Went to Morrison's, not bothered, to be fair I think I'll give the RL a miss as well . I can't manage to get any enthusiasm for it.

Yes, although SA scored 2 late tries, just before their first try, the commentary was suggesting that they could be about to win their second final without needing to score a try to win - what kind of game is that ??

I don't think we can crow at them when we turn up like GB did today.
Our game is designed for free flowing running rugby and we might as well have been mauling up and down the field.
