Have to say after having watched the Australia v South Africa tri nations on saturday i'm a bit concerned about the ELVs.
South Africa looked shattered after two weekends getting beaten up by the All Blacks but Australia cetainly made the most of the experimental laws.
They deservedly won but the game just seemed to be playing into their hands.
Endless hoofing, along wioth certain things at the breakdown that would make even the most devious of player blush made for a game that was built for them - George Smith had a field day on the floor.
The beauty about union is it is not league.
We want to see players bridging at the breakdown, using a whole lot of skill to both turnover and recycle the ball.
We like the ball in hand for more than five phases.
We have a wonderful game, let's not pander to those who would make it different just for TV ratings in certain parts of the world.
Today ELVs. Tomorror unified rugby?
