So that would mean something like 20% of the game watching somebody kick at goal.
Add the numerous scrums and resetting of the scrums you could have 40% or more of the game just watching goal kicks and scums.
I almost forgot the constant kicking to touch to waste even more time with the line outs.

How exciting !

There is only one interntional team worth watching in the world and thats the All Blacks as they play the game more like RL i.e.pass the ball and create tries with flair and skill.The Welsh team of the seventies also played with grreat attacking flair.

haha... I will take this a sarcasm

Well said Coco. And while we re at it let s not forget the shameful way that during WW2 the French RU collaborated with the pro- Vichy regime to ban League in Southern France and strip the growing number of French Rugby league clubs of their assets and funds - none of which were ever returned and for which FRU never apologized.

LOL - I knew someone would mention the war...

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it

They lost me at half-time when it seemed like Phil Clarke was about to pleasure himself over Wigan's 100% tackle rate. I know it has been done to death but they really should get rid of this 2@. Baz, Tez and Carney all proudly played for Wigan but keep some semblance of impartiality.
