So the teams that played more comprehensive rugby won the two semi's compared to the Stampkar model - claimed to be traditional SA Rugby- both lost in the semi's and deservedly so. The final is between Racing Metro and Toulon and would be an in tresting match to watch. The favourites to win will be Toulon - but I quess the smart money will be on Raciing Metro.

Hmmm, now would the stats support that assertion? I wonder which team is Toulon, which Montpellier. One has to laugh.

Are you trying to be dense again. The meters gained came largely - about 50 meters - from the intercept try by Mogg. For the rest the ball carrying of Montpellier was sub-standard/ atrocious. The ruin of Montpellier was as per normal Fat Fransie - he lost possession four times. made two tackles and missed one, while he passed the ball to anybody only represents 36% of the balls handled by him. There may be one other difference - which I assumed you missed in totality. When Toulon players kicked the ball it was well-planned strategic kicks which put Montpellier players on the back foot - when Montpellier players kicked it was anything but. An element of stampkar rugby is aimless kicks and that was what Montpellier did - while the majority of the kicks of Toulon players were accurate and strategic. Am afraid the White stampkar model did not work and Montpellier lost the game - so the laugh is entirely on you.

Seems to me Toulon kicked the ball more than Montpellier...a little inconvenient for your theory. And while you are about it explain how the Poms played ...er...complete rugby.

Can you read English? There is nothing wrong in kicking balls - the AB's kick more balls than opponents, The difference is the quality of kicks - strategic and accurate kicking is an integral part of comprehensive rugby. The kicking game of Montpellier was atrocious and counter-productive, the one of Toulon was largely effective. Aimless and i naccurate kicking is an essential element of Stampkar rugby.

Hmm, sounds pretty desperate but let's examine another assertion. You say the Montpellier stats were inflated by Mogg's run .....you estimate at 50 metres.
So let's take that away....then Montpellier makes 322 metres in 86 carries and Toulon makes 356 in 93 carries.
Toulon makes 3.8 metres a carry, Montpellier makes 3.7 metres a carry....and you think Montpellier was sub standard/atrocious? Down goes the clown.
