Hi everyone, now this was a great game played by both sides.
There was speed, agility, skills, a plenty and compared to Rugby Union this is the way to get people through the gates.
Fifty Two thousand attended this game and millions watched it around the world.
I bet if the game was replayed the next day the public would have paid good money again to watch this.
I watched the replay again the next day. The referee was in control, the assistant referees stayed out of it, the video ref was only used occasionally, scrums are set with a time clock, no reset after reset time wasting, ball in ball out, the ball is in play constantly. penalties taken quickly, any fowl play is placed on report and dealt with later.
Compared to the go slow game that rugby union has become this game was a breath of fresh air and we all love it.
NOW, there are several rugby union test matches on this weekend, Please watch any one you want and compare. Union has turned into a bore fest due to the rules, interfering linesmen, TMO who want to watch 57 replays, referees who want to stop the game for the slightest little thing, players doing up a boot lace, or any other thing you can think of.
Good on you union but you will not get my money .I will follow the action.
Enjoy your footie.
