WellView Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Rugby is a far more dynamic and complex game than football. with bodies flying into close contact from every angle. In football, we tend to see one-on-one tackles, for example, and the refs too often get it wrong. To be fair to football referees, due to the nature of rugby their referees tend to always be closer to the action. However, they'll still refer to the video to check - and the end result is always the correct result. I played rugby and follow it. I remember the argument about video slowing down games. Waiting on video outcomes is now part of the entertainment. Give it a few years and we'll follow rugby and our game will be better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 25 minutes ago, WellView said: Anyone feel like addressing the topic? The answer isn't technology but better refereeing as evinced by the Joubert allusion. Scotland benefited not so much from video replays twice yesterday but, quite simply, from having the best referee in world rugby officiate - one who knows when to use the technology available. Maybe next time you could choose a topic less inflammatory to the P&B masses - like dressage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 To me, the difference between an Auld Enemy clash at footy and rugby is that in rugby I care about how Scotland get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The end result is the correct result except when it isn't. World Rugby had to apologise to Wales for messing it up against England. Adding that to the countless time the officials get it wrong even with the TMO.

nsr Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 People who argue rugby is cleaner than football in terms of lack of foul play miss an important difference between the two sports. Namely that NOBODY CARES about rugby. Football players are under actual pressure to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
