Winning knockout games by anything more than 1 point is inefficient and a waste of resources.

Re: Jaguares back in Super Rugby

Re: Is there a pushback against the safety initiatives in Rugby
I think that Rugby is "throwing out the baby with the bathwater". The current laws are just another reason why I don't go (unless beer/cabal is involved). Why pay good money for a game that may be ruined by a decision regarding an accidental collision after 1 minute? By all means punish the player ...

Ultimately the players are the important people when push comes to shove 1st there was the pushback against the waist high tackle law. 2nd ther...

We used 'timezones' as the excuse to explain why SR was losing popularity. Since the Saffers have left, SR hasn't quite been gangbusters, right? The 'timezone' theory doesn't hold water.
