Scoring side to kick off?

[Mr Spock!]

Start like netball.

Each team takes turns restarting regardless of who scores.

The game should be like it was in 1908. All the heads that have had to explode since then over every rule change is so sad. It should be a 1mm on side rule and unlimited tackles, leather ball. Tries worth 3.

The tackle

• On being tackled with the ball in his possession a play-the-ball occurs(as introduced in 1906). Before any person can play the ball, he must pick it up and put it at his toe(technically forming a scrum) and play on.

• Play-the-ball: provided they are onside (no minimum distance specified) all players in vicinity permitted to kick or rake for the ball in any direction

• No limit on number of tackles a team can retain possession

Believe it or not, those rules encouraged ball movement, otherwise the defence was literally on top you.
