I hope to say I was at the England Wales game tomorrow where regardless of the result rugby was the winner but I fear the worst. Someone will win and ugly.
The head to heads are everywhere - Jones v Gatland or Kruis v Wynne Jones or Biggar v Ford or Vunipola v Falateau or Haskell v Lydiate, unfortunately most them forward battles. Despite forecast for a dry day crying out for running rugby. I am not sure the scrum halves call for quick ball will be heeded as the egos of the fat boys up front takes hold - bosh bash head down stumble fall whack etc
As my ticket is costing an eye watering 90 quid if each scrum takes 5 mins to reset I will ask for a refund. Nobody wants to watch, what is simply meant to be a way of resetting play, dominate the game. Kids certainly don't love the resetting of scrums or the eternal rolling maul. NZ have dominated world rugby by playing a 15 man game not 8 or occasionally 9 (who then under pressure gives it back to the fat boys).
Wait up and smell the coffee boys - the crowd want you to entertain not just win (ugly). And spend less time in the gym and more time playing touch!
