SCRUM-HALF’S are killing my enthusiasm after a lifetime playing and watching the game.
This box-kicking the ball back and forth, saying ‘here have it back, we can’t think of anything better to do with it’ is pathetic.
The whole process, beginning with the 9 pointing to his forwards to form a caterpillar, is so stupid, annoying and mind-numbingly boring!
I’m not against kicking completely – there is a place for ‘intelligent’ kicking – but I find this negative kicking gamet totally uninspiring.
