Rugby: The mid-year internationals

Thanks again! Went from watching USA-Italy(horrible) on YouTube to ESPN3. Cleansed the palette with:

Wales-New Zealand
Ireland-South Africa
England-Australia
France-Argentina
Toulon-Montpellier
Racing 92-Clermont
Racing 92-Toulon
England-Ireland(U20)

Best day ever.

Now that’s dedication! After all that are you in position to comment on the penalisation of the scrum? cause no other bugger has a clue.

I gave up trying to figure that out a long time ago. Illegal binding, turning, front row collapsing/angling/standing. I wish they’d just pause the clock after the first failed scrum and maybe go back to the previous rule(engage, etc.) but that’s never going to happen. Even though it’s often an inscrutable part of the game it’s still intensely exciting. See Toulon-Racing when Tomafuna(spelling?) was subbed back in near the end. Geez it doesn’t get any better than that.
