Afraid

[weecalf]

Afraid to put this in sport so we will just put in chatter bank .Watched today's match Wales & Japan .Good game but again the game as in the rules ends when the ball is retrieved by winning team and promptly kick out of play .Just to me that seems Not a great way to end a game .How else I hear you shout, how about if the said winning team has to maybe advance say thirty yards before they can kick it outta play .If it's changed I want it called the weecalf rule .Before the great rugby union fans maul me for daring to change their great sport .What do you think ? what if the game is drawing I hear you say ,well sobody else is gonna have to come up with the solution to that one

The reason is because time is already up, but rugby has this good rule which allows play to continue after the 80 mins. That is already a concession. So if you are winning, and time is up, why on earth would you not do that? Why should you gift the opposition a chance to get the ball back in 'dead time'?
Last night in the France New Zealand game New Zealand kicked the ball out and were booed for it, which immediately lost the home supporters any sympathy from me for seeing their team lose narrowly

LOL, interesting suggestion! Rugby already has many incentives for teams to keep playing even after time is up. Bonus points; points difference etc. Besides, the 80 minutes prior to that would've been more action-packed than any other sport out there.
