Well I have watched some of the rugby recently and I have to say it has improved since 2007 but still the amount of time the ball is out of play is pretty high. One thing I did notice is the scrums are a mess. The Test matches against France were dead boring. The best Union games to watch are the Tests against the All Blacks.
Anyway in league at this moment in time, even with all the wrestle in the tackles league is still miles ahead of Union. But one thing that has slowed the game a little is the video ref. I think they should only use the video ref's for tries and nothing else. I hope next year the decrease the use of the video ref for stripping etc. The last thing I would hate to see is League becoming boring like Union.
What else could league do to reduce outages?
