this is a great podcast guys..........For me the biggest issue with Rugby is the rolling maul near the try line.......the most trys are scored by Hookers!!!! the stop start of rugby is great and adds to the tension. The World Cup was easily the best we have seen, with a couple of the games could have been the best games of all time. For the casual observer, the rolling maul 5M out is a try most times.....it is also terrible watching. If the rules allowed it to be a true contest where anything goes, as rugby used to be, would be a huge move in the right direction. Rugby needs to take direction from the NFL. Viewers dont care about the delay, as long as the game is decided with the ball in play. ALSO: please talk about rugby administration in Australia being run by old rugger buggers.....The AFL, and NRL CEO's have never played the game at any serious level. When John O'Neil ran rugby in Australia, it was at its peak. We need serious business/sports people running a multi Million dollar business. Remember when Rugby Australia rejected Andrew Johns playing rugby!!!!! his first name was Brett.....what a goose. Please talk about the Administrators
