That's why teams are taking the pick and grow because tendencies, referees are much stricter on defenders.

That's the only time that defence is under the pump.

And I say more under the pump than any other.

That's the one love that the attacking sides get.

And you'll see just before halftime and just before the end of the game is when he's the most vigilant about those things.

So, yeah.

I mean, that's just a trend of all referees.

So you spot on.

I do think, though, another thing that I've thought about, Bernard, is that if you kick the ball out over the halfway line for a penalty, then the line-out must go to the team that's in that half.

You can't have your cake and eat it.

So if you kick it out on the halfway line, you get the line-out.

But if you decide to kick for touch into the corner, then it's the other team's ball.

It's also a thing that I think needs to come back.

I don't think you get... I mean, I think it's a double whammy.

You get a penalty and you kick in the corner and now all of a sudden... You know, I'm not saying it any... But if you can have a good scrum, then you get an exit line-out to the halfway line.

Then you get a maul and you could have two sets where you do absolutely nothing to attack and you end up a five-metre line-out.

And I think what they should do is you can kick it out...

If it's before the halfway line, you have the ball.

If it goes after the halfway line, it's – and the 50-22 can stay because that's a good kick, you know, is what I'm saying.

But a penalty into the opposition half means the oppo throw in.
