Ta Jon, I try my best
I think one of the greatest things about rugby is two sides can play such different styles and I think on saturday we have a meeting of two clubs (and sets of fans) with very different approaches to the game. Which, wind ups excluded, is great!

I don't dislike people for speaking their minds,I certainly don't dislike anyone for being anti Leicester,or any other club for that matter.I'm not keen the wycombe insects(wasps to any one else),but that was based on the fact they used to beat us on occassion(and it was usually in a final,damn pests).
Saturday will I'm sure be a great day of rugby.

This doesn't actually answer my question, as what happened (as I saw it) was that Leicester players were tackling Saints players BEFORE they actuallly reached the 'ruck'. IMHO this was clearly illegal, and was v surprised the ref let it go (the Scots used to do this systematically a few years ago - then, presumably, refs stopped it). I'm disappointed none of the Scarlets refs have seen fit to come and advise on this point, so far! |

Im sure I've seen a smililar tactic with the Ospreys, players walking through the ruck (AWJ from memorey) taking a player at the back of a ruck out in the process, whilst other O's players pile over.

Thats why I like knowlegable rugby fans, they dont take a little critisism of their team and have a reasonable debate about it rather than resorting to name calling and claims of jelousy.
Looking forward to meeting a few of your other knowlegable fans this weekend TigerBurnie.

I'll go one step further and say I'm disappointed Alun or Scarletman isn't refereeing on saturday.

If that's the Law in Leicestershire Sir, it is no wonder everyone else thinks the Tigers cheat !

They must "BIND" with a FULL ARM (not just hand or forearm) and be supporting their own weight to be legal ! Whether they "do it in all leagues" does not make it legal ! Referees get marked / assessed with the focus on current IRB directives ... If the latest directive tells us to (for example) "concentrate on the Crouch .. touch ...pause etc" then human nature dictates that the Referee does not want to be marked down on this, as he knows that the assessors are targeting this too ! Attention to other aspects tend to focus on the "clear & obvious" ! Also there are a lot of "misinformed" Referees out there, although most are along the touchlines, there are the occasional one in the middle with a whistle too ! |

Well we are masters at disguising the "clear and obvious",ask Peter Stringer about Neil Back helping him put the ball into the scrum.........

Thought the game was played in a good spirit and compliment Leicester on the way in which they played. Thought the ref did a good job as well. Oh, and very nice try by the way! Amazing hands from whoever it was. Leicester (and England) are a different side with Ben Youngs in this kind of form. All the best for the rest of the tournament.
