Rugby

Stoppages ran riot. Let’s say every couple of minutes play was stopped while they set a scrum or a lineout, or the officials discussed some penalty amongst themselves or attended an injury.

When play actually started and the ball was contested in say a tackle, kick, ruck, scrum or lineout, invariably there was a penalty.

Either the players don’t know all the rules, or they need play right on the edge of the rules to have any chance of winning. There’s so many constant infringements that the ref simply cherry-picks which to blow.

You can see why rugby league was invented. Rugby is complete tripe. I’m done with it.
