Sunday Times Player Ratings

NU8 · 2009-03-01 12:52:20

I just saw this article in the Sunday Times, just wondering if people agree. O'Driscoll got a six despite being man of the match. Theres a few other strange calls but considering the article is written by Stephen Jones I'm not really surprised.

The maul law variation was not implemented on safety grounds. If it was you'd have a point. As it happens, it wasn't and you don't.

I agree that the pulling down of a maul should never be allowed. However this is a safety concern.

I'll try and dig up a league quote via a google search.

Whats confusing about that?
The IRB amended the maul law not out of a safety concern but to encourage the ball to be passed out.
The maul law is a law I wouldn't have changed because to me, the safety aspect should be paramount.
