This is an interesting article on how rugby has changed, backed up with facts.
Here’s an excerpt. It turns out forwards are beating more defenders and 84% is par for tackling success.

How come RG Snyman hasn't won a Player of the Tournament award in a RWC? How come he hasn't won a Player of the Final award at a RWC? Pieter-Steph has both of those accolades.
Do you think it's because you' re some kind of visionary who sees things that the professionals at World Rugby are missing?
PS I'm a fan of RG Snyman by the way . . . he just hasn't come close to achieving what PSdT has achieved . . . yet.
Whaty h ave the above stats to do with Du Toit - dimwit?
SdT's a very good Bok but he ain't a great Bok .................... great players don't make you wait until their 77th test to reveal how great they are .................
Julle weet nie wat ons wietie!
That was the Nationalist Party mantra, with predictable results.
Ja, ja, I know stubbornness isn't a virtue...
Mozart rugby idiocy is worse than stubbornness. .
Mozart you are a ridiculous arsehole. You cannot prove that I ever was a member of the National Party and neither that I voted for them ever. I suppose you were a coward that fled from the country and never ever did anything iro politics in SA. When you blame me for being a National Party member and on other days that I am an ANC supporter. What the hell has that to do with rugby anyway - you bloody idiotic rugby dimwit?
Nope you were the coward who used connections to avoid doing military service. I did mine and emigrated, taking nothing with me.
As for the comment above, it had nothing to do with you. But your constant anger is concerning. See a doctor.
:Li.ar Liar - you are shit in inventing lies - I never did anything to avoid military service and joined voiluntarily and did advance study programs on military intelligence - I have photos of the camp training programmes in Youngsfield and Voortrekkerhoogte - you old BSting liar.
What has this to do with a discussion on rugby - idiotc rugby dimwit.
Nothing you raised it…so I replied. As for your military intelligence scam we have been through it all before…a few short camps well after you left school. Nothing like going and doing your year of service. You really shouldn’t use the word ‘coward’.
Maaik, my late dad did basic training at Voorrrekker Hoogte in 1961 ...he would have turned 83 this year...when were you there?
