Rugby Rights & Wrongs<\/p>\n
Introduction<\/p>\n
Are you bored at the way rugby teams now endlessly bash into each other – barge & bash – trying to overcome an efficient defence to no purpose? All the teams seem to play exactly the same way. <\/p>\n
There is a better way.<\/p>\n
Rugby seems to have become mostly brawn and little brain. Many of our top professionals are making unbelievably bad, basic errors in major games and thus losing points, even in the World Cup! What hope is there of our youngsters playing proper rugby? All professional players should have to pass a ‘Player\u2019s Licence’. <\/p>\n
Before they are let loose on the field, they should be tested on both theory and practice, to be sure they at least know the rules!<\/p>\n
The best team, New Zealand, play so close to the wind, that although tries may not be scored against them, the penalty points mount up and they can still lose games by penalties \u2013 so much for the world’s best team!<\/p>\n
While watching games, it is useful to keep notes of silly errors by players. This book is based on dozens, possibly hundreds of recent games, including the World Rugby Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
