20/20 Rugby Union

For ****s who think League was created by someone who was "not gay enough" for Union.

I was thinking more of a bashfest as in Fuller's 20/20 Rugby League idea despite the fact that seven's used to be in RL also.

Get rid of this bloody 3 points for field/drop goals, one point is sufficient. It tells you a lot that if a team is popping drop goal shots a fair bit in the game, then it tells you a lot about their ability to score tries.

You are the biggest waste of space this forum has seen. Atleast we could laugh at Rodgie and bond21, but you're so incredibly dire that it actually isn't funny.

How can they play 20/20 union? Do they play 20 mins per half? Or do they have 20 pppl, cuz that would be just so over crowded.

Meanwhile the likes of Sam Harris who played quite a bit of state union, went to league and was in and out of first grade, never cemented his spot at either club he played for.
