I think you'll find they are playing different from how they won the world cup. Actually I think the SaFa's are playing how England used to play A big strong pack, suffocate the opposition, kick up and unders, for territory and squeeze the opposition to make mistakes that result in 3 point penalties. If you get a chance, score a try but it's optional. :whistling:Voltzy wrote:I dont like the current style of "test" play-particularly the way the africans play (but they are VERY good). What happened to the "running game"?

I agree, It's ugly rugby, but sure seems to work if you have a talented kicker..
I guess I just expected that Australia would have an answer to it after the two games the All Blacks played against the Saffies..
You can see where the aussies have improved and they did some heroic defending with two men in the bin, but there still doesn't seem to be enough drive & creativity there..

The ELV's were definitely a step forward. The game is now all about the ref. Ref's will have managers soon and will be the highest paid people on the field, the players are only there as bit actors to provide a stage for the refs to perform on. Watch the highlight of the games on rugby dump and its nothing but a continuous series of goal kicks from ruck infringement penalties. Not so long ago these games were a feast of tries and fast moving play, now they stagger from penalty and set piece to goal kick and not much more.

The curious thing about American Football is that if you watch it quite quickly you can figure out what's going on, even if does happen incredibly slowly. The same cannot be said about Aussie Rules. I mean WTF is that about??! Are there any rules or did they forget to invent them?
At least it's considerably more interesting than cricket, with or without a purpose

Winning beautiful in World Cups also works as we showed in 1991 and 1999. FFS Neil no wonder you need to support two countries, NZ and England, that way you can get your world cup tally up to match Australia's. NZ would take a world cup win even if it meant using nuclear weapons.
Paul, Aussie rules has very few rules, its fast, skillful, brutal, non stop action, unlike union which grinds from ruck to ruck and then penalty to penalty. They are killing the game.........

OK - so you only have one World Cup to brag about and a win loss ratio that's a long way in our favour. You guys make so much about a single victory, ahhh that's right, that's all you have...... Next you'll be telling me how to catch fish FFS........... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I remember when some friends from the US visited, they watched some Aussie rules and described it as follows "if you got 30-40 8 year olds and gave them a football and told them to invent a game, they'd come up with something remarkably similar to Aussie rules..." and on it went, until he finished with " for fuck sake, you even get a point for missing!!"
