STOP THIS NOW! There is no point in tinkering with the rules. The whole concept is rotten to the core. Just scrap the whole sport (both codes) and let the macho wankers form drinking and childishly-obscene-song-singing clubs and they'll be happy.
While we're about it, let's ban those other abominations on the name of sport....boxing and car racing. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 9:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] Non-LU: Rugby (Was: Re: LU: A real mans game?)

To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Oh and just to complete the questions Briggsy came up with ... The line out needs scrapping if Union is to become more exciting. Take away any potential benefit of kicking for touch and they won't do it, simple as. If the governing body had any balls they'd come up with something along the lines of, if you kick it in to touch then it's the oppositions ball ... from where it was kicked. Scrumdown. I'm with you part of the way.? I think that making it the opposition's ball at the spot it goes into touch -- not a line out but ball in hand -- would do enough to adjust the balance.? Actually, I think if your rule changes were made it might actually make the game less exciting by turning it into no more than equivalent of the old American Football "three yards and a cloud of dust" mentality...
