So what about a Golden Try rule? This makes the teams work with skill and forces defences to be at their best. Give them 15 minutes instead of just 10. The coin toss to see who starts the game is a fair way of doing it or go Rock Paper Scissors!!!!
Yeah, I thought yesterday that it suddenly becomes a drop goal comp. We are lucky in Briers that we have somebody who is pretty good at it (although he made hard work of it yesterday!) but not everybody does and it shifts the focus away from tries which is what Rl is all about.
It is very interesting and exciting, and the forwards battle always comes to the forefront during this period (the reason we won was the two props we had), but I'd rather have seen them play for 10, giving KR the chance to come back at us.
