Football is now full of diving and play-acting, why? Because the foul rule is so simple that it's exploited by players. I would much rather see a "cheat" like Richie McCaw week in week out, rather than football players who spend half the game rolling around whining. I my opinion I think McCaw a great player, if it was just as easy as cheating why wouldn't every player be doing the same around the ruck, as well as leading the best side in the world as well of course. These interpretive and varying options are certainty there but they need not be as restrictive as you make them out to be. If you know Joubert is ref-ing, then teams (especially the likes of NZ) should have the capabilities & foresight to adapt there game. Wouldn't that make for a more interesting game? And I don't think the RFU are doing a bad job, I think the introduction of the ELV will improve the spectator aspect of the game greater, whether I'm right remains to be seen!
