I think we should stop being so sniffy about League.For me it's the change of pace in a Rugby Union match that makes it entertaining. The various set pieces combine to give tactical possibilities and change of pace compared to the open running and fast paced passing moves. A few pick and goes on the goal line keeps me on the edge of my seat. Variety is the spice of the game.
Compare that to League. Run three strides get tackled by two blokes, get up, heel the ball, pass, run three strides etc. till you run out of goes than politely give the ball to the other side who run three strides...............................
I could live without Twickenham Tennis. But I do feel that few are taking advantage of the 50-22 possibilities.
And please sort out the scrums.
They have a far superior TV product - at least over here. I watch their whole catalogue over the weekend when it's on. A good NRL game is a fantastic 80 minutes of television. The Super Rugby is a lot less compelling.
