..”Declining crowd attendances, loss of revenue and criticism of the game “..

My Comment: Not up north apparently. Down under administrators have done more damage to the game. See post here.

..”What a sin that rugby is faster – with tries being scored – and not being dominated by giants slothfully tramping from scrum to lineout and back, camping in the opposition quarter and waiting for Jonny Wilkinson to kick penalty goals.”…

My Comment: See my post discussing Chess vs Checkers, and the danger of rugby becoming a hybrid game. Phil, destroy the structure of the game to your extent and I guess we can call it ‘league’ or ‘Chesskers’.

My guess Phil watches a lot of rugby league and comments on rugby union because his editor expects him to, his comments tend lend this way. But if he is the Chief Rugby scribe, oh my god !
