Injuries will happen. 3 Subs are silly and will spoil more games as teams may be forced to play with reduced players. This also throws out the tactical substitutions as coaches will hold back in case of injuries. English still looking for excuses it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English still looking for excuses it seems.There was a game where England never used a substitute in the game. My memory seems to roll back to the 1991 final vs Aus, with Will Crlng the captain. I could be wrong, so I better go look, and then edit if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted November 12, 2019 Share Replacements have been allowed since 1968, but "tactical" substitutions were only allowed from 1996. The game I was thinking of was the ENG vs NZ pool match in 1991. England never used a sub, while NZ did. http://stats.espnscrum.com/statsguru/rugby/match/22428.html Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned.. It was a huge gamble and because he stuck with his strategy thought the tournament... It worked. Even if he didn't sub any forward in the final... They would still have had fresher legs than the poms. Second point... Reduce the substitutions will see an increase in uncontested scrums.. Now there's one way to make a game boring!

gemmerbal Posted November 12, 2019 Share I agree with you stretch. And, its not like they couldnt do the same. Damn Poms moaning as per usual. The rules are the same for everyone, they couldnt compete and thats the end of the story. And to top it all off some former box from Ireland is saying our boys are all doping, since Dyanti got busted he reckons we are all on juice. These idiots sure know how to cry like babies. Viva Bokke Viva! So because no one else was as tactical it's no a problem. As mentioned.. It was a huge gamble and because he stuck with his strategy thought the tournament... It worked.

gemmerbal Posted November 13, 2019 Share Probably so, I mean we have seen how many youngsters busted at the u/19 week over the recent years. But this pillick's comments that our WC victory should have an asterisk next to it because 1 player got picked up, is ridiculous, and purely out of spite. Suppose you have to consider the criticism from whence it comes... I think we have a massive problem with steroids at schoolboy rugby level.
