This game (Lions v Chiefs) was not a good example of the interpretations of the tackle or Super 14 rugby.

There has to be balance, like any sport if you attack at every option you leave yourself open.
The difference was the lack of kicking and run at all costs, similar to a barbarians game.

In its own way the game was just as bad as some of the the SHYTE served up in some of the 6N/ GP/ HK last yr's TriNations . Rugby isn't just about running....or kicking....or scrummaging....or rucking...or mauling...or line outs....or defence...it's about ALL of them, and there were way too many fundamentals missing from that 15 a side game of 7s.

I enjoying watching the physical battle on the gain line (which was non existent here), interesting stat was the Chiefs only had 24 rucks. Talk about gain line success rates, or non existent first up tackling.

if rugby turns into a sport like basketball where missing becomes more significant than scoring it will be a sad day for rugby.The excitement and celebration comes from rare times a try is scored rather than watching a game of try tennis. The reason why the roof came off in Cardiff when Wales played Scotland was because there should never be that number of points scored in the last 5 mins, if it had been like that for all of the game it would have diluted the pleasure.

If you want running rugby, watch/play league. I prefer an all round game with many facets of play.

Just because there are a lot of tries in a game doesn't mean it was a good game!
