No - you do not give a shit about facts ever, It is evident that the discussion includes kicks at goal ahead of penalty corner kicks, which is where the usage of mauls is of vital importance. “
It is actually on the facts that I nail you every time. I have checked the facts on the mauls. I gave you the facts on the EOYT so far. I have, in the meantime, also checked the Rugby Championship. We used the maul less in two games. In one we and NZ used it five times each.

Dimness - not opinion - but facts., ..”
Which facts? Quote them. I have given you facts about the mauls. Let me repeat that. The mauls. I have only been talking about the mauls, right from the start. Nothing about the kicks. Nada. Niks. Zilch.

Just as I thought. You have nothing to backup your opinion/theory.

Explanation based on which facts? You said that the “rolling maul” was virtually absent from the Springbok rugby attack. I then check the facts and they contradict your “facts”. That makes your “facts” nothing but an opinion or a theory. A theory can only become a fact once it is proven beyond any doubt.

What facts did you check - piss brain? ”
I just noticed that you are still ducking and diving.
I told you. I checked the number of mauls by the Boks compared to their opponents in the RC and the EOYT up to the test against Scotland.

I gave you the exact explanation of a maul elsewhere, straight from the law book. You guys were arguing about the number of players required to constitute a maul and I quoted the law. Go check. It seems you are the one shooting blanks when it comes to mauls.
This was the part of my post about mauls.

There we go with the self defined goalposts again. Go check Law 16. This is what the law has to say about the forming of a maul.
“1. A maul can take place only in the field of play. 2. It consists of a ball-carrier and at least one player from each team, bound together and on their feet. 3. Once formed, a maul must move towards a goal line.”
