The French are absolutely adamant.
I think they're right.
Yeah, I definitely think so.
And if you actually look at foul play, there's very little foul play, very few high tackles in the Six Nations.
And that's being emulated in all competitions.
And that is down not just to the referee, but it's also down to the coaches.

And now we're not getting.
And that's down to, I mean, the referee stuck to their task.
I mean, what's really interesting, Nathan, is that for years, the coaches would say, oh, no, no, that's just part of the game.

There is a massive responsibility, I think, for the coaches.
