which can be quite monotonous, really, and very hard to defend.
So I think what you'll see more of now is you'll see teams being able to kick to the corner and actually score directly, which is obviously, it's positive if your team has a strong, technically good maul.
And secondly, I think Maul will become a weapon a little bit further out as well.
Teams will look to get some meterage and then either play off that.
And it's a beautiful source of possession to attack off.
A good Maul, particularly if you go middle or back,
it's actually quite hard to defend some teams are very creative around some of the backline strikes they play off that so I think it's a real positive the South Africans were all over it they certainly pushed for this at the state of the game and yeah I think we'll see it over the next couple of weeks and people like Paul O'Connell will look to be early adapters and capitalise on it quite early before teams kind of adjust to it Have you any passionate thoughts one way or the other on this Steno?
Yeah, and unfortunately I hadn't bumped into him for a while.
So when I heard the sad news of his passing, I talked back to him.
I used to meet him and he was one of the most charismatic people I knew in Irish rugby.
Full of life, full of development.
full of energy commitment and when I think back to the great days of rugby in Ireland like you know I remember that mud bat in Italy when Ireland won the Grand Slam and then beat New Zealand and Marcuse there to
in the World Cup they're the two kind of things that stand out for me from the women's game and Philip Doyle was at the core there at a time when I mean there wasn't the same resource or investment in women's rugby that there is now and it's great that investment is there now but he was yeah he kind of got the whole thing started and just a great fella to be around a great rugby man and yeah my thoughts to his
his family and friends who will miss him dearly.
Yeah, and thankfully that kind of result is very much an outlier.
But I think the reality is it's not a great achievement to get four tries now.
It's pretty much easier than ever.
And I like the French model.
The French model's been... Obviously, the difference between the French model is to get a losing bonus point in France is five points or less.
But the attacking tribe want to score three tries more than your opponent's.
