@chris mouthy? by this do you mean they've been hitting the bottle too much because that certainly seems to be the case.

That too, just a lot of Pump about taking it to the AB'S Banter if its fired me up its good banter.Adds to the occasion better to be engaged than not.

So we’ve got a few trial rules
50/22 which I think menas if you kick it from your half and it bounces out inside their 22 you get the throw
A pre tackle binding one, only one person can bind?
Cleanout not allowed to drop weight on jackler or target lower limbs
red card 20 min
golden point
Anything else?Largely bad ideas as far as I can tell.
A rule to encourage kicking instead of running? It might provide some variation from the blight of box-kicking at best - but the first two players I think of benefitting from a rule like this are the godawful attacking-ball ruining Sexton and O'Gara. What's the best case? More lineout maul drives, everybody's favourite form of attacking rugby?
Making the already messy ruck rulings more difficult to police.
Nobody wants golden point.
All of these rules tend to make the game slower. If you want to increase player safety, make the game fast and open, and reduce the substitutions. Everyone gets smaller because they have to be fitter, and people don't get hurt as much.@reprobate said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe 1 Eden Park 7th Aug:

I've seen a couple of people say this and it doesn't compute for me.
In my mind what that leads to is players being more prone to error (e.g. high tackles) as they're more tired, as well as bodies being more prone to injury.

It’s understood that the illness isn’t serious, but the All Blacks coaches have decided to play safe and go with Tuipulotu.

Patty T needs a big one if he gets on - he is nearing last chance saloon at test level, save for the fact that there aren't too many other compelling alternatives.

I can't really think of a game where he's let us down from the bench. I have a couple of memories of him coming off the bench and stealing the next lineout though.

Scott is running around in the warm up in shorts and t-shirts, his mum won't be happy if he's got a sniffle
