Personally however, if its going to lead to seasons of dull games I say sod the internationals because its ruining a good sport.
Saints have just had to adapt as our main method of play has been made ineffective, by changes in the refing of games.'"
I agree to an extent, but at the same time, our style of play should the ruck be sped back up would clearly be based around Roby ripping slow-retreating defenders to shreds around the play the ball. I don't think it would solve the problem of how unimaginitive we are and how unable we are to break down opposition defences close to the line. It would however result in a faster more open spectacle with gaps on the field which is the game we all grew up watching. Can see both sides really.
