In Rugby Union should we play the fifth tackle law?

Question

Time to stop the forwards running it up the middle?

Answer 1

Six tackles maybe.

Answer 2

You clearly need more tackle practice.

Answer 3

No, rucking and mauling is too important to the Union rules. Having the ball turn over on tackles defeats the spirit of the game. You want the ball you get the ball. Dont like it play League and dont complain

Answer 4

NO, NEVER!!

If that ever happens, you will make that game as low as Rugby League. I am an Aussie Rules fan but I enjoy watching the Rugby Union because the defending team has to work to get the ball, they have to force the mistake/penelty, they have to work harder! And thats why I watch the Wallabies when there is no AFL on!

Let the forwards run up the middle, I enjoy a high scoring game with breakaways every now and again!

KEEP IT THE SAME!

Answer 5

It certainly makes sense if it is to quicken the game up, and thus making it more continuous. This would be a radical change, which many of the `die hard` oldies will not agree with. I also think, and no doubt some will think controversial, is to rid the game of line outs, this will help stop the `stop start` aspect of the game. I have seen many matches where all the way through it has been kick line out, kick line out.

I pay to watch quick flowing games, not stop start.
