Not the highest quality, but certainly the most entertaining game I've seen in a while.

Someone in work mentioned the Chiefs tried this before recently and the refs had no idea what to do, I've no idea if this is true or not

The Calcutta Cup game is quite a quandary for me. I want England to lose, but I also want to keep Kirk bumming Spock for a little bit longer.

That was the best, terrible game of rugby ever. Great to see some innovation from Italy to mess with England's structure in the first half though there wasn't really any doubt England would fix it and pull away when Italy started to really tire. It amazes me that professional players that have played a game for most of their lives have no idea what the basic rules are (even Italy didn't have a clue when England employed the same tactic against them.)  If Scotland beat Italy or England... let's just say I've got an AV all warmed up for Vagabundo.

Looke posted:http://www.the42.ie/analysis-chiefs-super-rugby-tactics-2013507-Mar2015/ This is A Good Article. It seems the best way to deal with this is to modify the rules to define the "tackle zone" as however many meters around the tackle, meaning defending players can run off into the backline if they wish to not form a ruck, but have to allow the half to get the ball out cleanly - as well as leaving the area directly in front of where the tackle occurs exposed for the forwards to push, uh, forward.

Just finished watching the game. Mods, change my username to "Law 15.6". Seeing professional rugby players not understanding basic rules (i.e. you actually need players from both teams to form a ruck) is hilarious. I'm just glad they didn't do this against Wales. To be honest, I'm not 100% our guys would have fared any better. Pretty sure Halfpenny will make the Lions squad, but probably wont start a test. He's a better defender than Hogg, but at the moment it looks like the shirt is Hogg's to lose. Halfpenny would be a good choice for the midweek tests though. Also, I'm pretty sure Gatland wont stack the squad with Welsh players. The last tour was heavy with Welsh players (15) as they'd just come off back-to-back 6 nations wins. This tour is off the back of 4 years of Welsh disappointment. Even Gatland will see that, surely? Note: if Jamie Roberts makes the team for the 1st test I'll take everything back and admit Gatland is a muppet.

Langilangi Haupeakui is back playing in California for Golden Gate I guess. I was clicking through match photos from my club's game against them this weekend and saw this one. I didn't make the trip, but Golden Gate beat us badly (68-7). We'll be dropping back to the second division next season. edit: The rest of the album can be found here if you want to see what amateur rugby looks like in Northern California.

The Italians employ a legal but dangerous tactic to throw England off balance. Good for them. The fact that England didn't bother with the basic pick and go until the second half is the real scandal.

I mean, Poite being an awful referee around the breakdown also didn't help. It was hilarious but poo poo.

James O'Connor, who got arrested for cocaine possession with intent to use in Paris over the weekend, was about to go into negotiations with Toulon for a new deal because his current contract was about due. Hahaha, whoops!

They're harsh on AWJ regarding "lost all leadership". He told the referee Wales would kick at goal, and the referee said "shot indicated" and signaled kick at goal. That's supposed to be the end of it. Then Biggar surprises everyone and kicks for the corner, and Lacey inexplicably allows it to stand. Can't argue with the referee once he's made a decision; there was nothing AWJ could do.

Or maybe everyone's getting it wrong and AWJ's "kick" meant "kick for the corner" not "shot at goal".
