This is definitely an improvement, thanks <@>flanker</@> Found myself discussing red cards and head injury mitigation with my old PE teacher on Facebook yesterday. Don't think either of us would have thought that was likely back in my school days!

SPR Jan 2022 3:22pm, 17 Jan 2022 36,165 posts	0 SPR This was my post on the thread first page, lol. We're getting close Why isn't this thread just called the RUGBY THREAD?!!! Watching Eng vs. Aus which is just about to finish. England have played very well, especially offensively.
SPR Jan 2022 3:27pm, 17 Jan 2022 36,166 posts	0 SPR Would there be any issue with league being discussed here? Not that I'm likely to. I used to watch a bit of league as well as union the 90s (remember Wigan being extremely dominant), but now generally just keep up with international union now.
The Mussile Jan 2022 3:33pm, 17 Jan 2022 829 posts	0 The Mussile SPR I am assuming if there were many League fans here they would have started their own thread. I find league tactically boring with little variety of playing styles. Bosh it up 5 times and then kick chase.

TROSaracen Jan 2022 3:49pm, 17 Jan 2022 24,762 posts	0 TROSaracen Agree with Mussile, League is terrible (but happy to discuss). No competitive international games except occasionally NZ/Aus, and a boring repetitive game involving bashing into the nearest bloke x5 then wellying it downfield. Worst is the tackle: the bloke tackled pretends he’s trying to get up but is being held, the tackler is trying to hold the bloke down while pretending he’s letting him get up. Bizarre and tedious.
