ABs(19) vs England(6): A game of two horizontal lines.
Well not much to write about…
Ask your self this : How many times did I see two horizontal lines line up against each other?
If its more that ZERO, its too much !
Ref: ELVs – ‘The Field Wide Trench Defence’ or ‘FWTD’
How do you get a two lines of rugby players?
SLOW BALL from the break down. This allows the defending team time form up the line, leaving the attacking team little chance to find gaps to attack.
Why is there slow ball?
Players can infringe all they like to slow the ball down.
Rucking has been removed from the game. Therefore the attacking team players have few tools to police illegal activity at the ruck, its either the refs whistle or nothing. The infringing team have the odds on the favour to get the benefits of slowing the ball down.
Professional boxing had its physical contact, rugby once had its version, sadly that’s been diluted.
