Is this the next excuse I hear being made ready on the sidelines for the
history books, "They played the wrong type of rugby" maybe along with "They
were too old"

You have to remember that here in the NH we are not considered proper
candidates to play S12 type rugby. We seem to be incapable of taking on
board the 'buggins turn' method of scoring. Very unsportingly we contest
set pieces and try to win the ball, while at the same time preventing the
opposition from having it. To compound our crime we also try and stop the
buggers scoring against us.

So far only England and, to a lesser extent. Ireland are managing to do this
successfully.

'They played the wrong type of rugby' sounds like a good excuse to me
though.

wtf are you talking about now, RL presents alot of opportunities for shots
at goals from penalties. What Poidevin is suggesting is the reduction of
these opportunities in RU. I disagree with him because IMHO it will just
encourage the cynical giving away of a penalty because the players know
there is no chance of giving away 3 points
