Lebel's try for me. The speed of the interplay in the centre of the pitch was impeccable 👌
Actually thought Green's try was better for harlequins. Tough to pick one though.
Final pass for Seabrooks try was clearly forward.
Oh mate just say you don’t understand rugby next time
@jakeclough8090 watch the replay, ball released by Dingwall about 2 metres from the 5m line, ball caught as Seabrook was crossing the 5m line. His hands went backwards but he wasn't travelling fast enough for there to be any real momentum. I was surprised it was included in the line up of tries, felt there were better options not included. Why not engage in a mature discussion next time instead of being a troll? People who understand rugby tend to understand manners and respect too.
@@Damomasts I’ve watched the replay and slowed it down to 0.25. Dingwall throws the ball maybe a metre or so from the line and seabrook catches it just before the line, so it maybe goes forward a metre. Dingwall has already gone a metre or two further forward when the pass is halfway to seabrook and then the shot cuts, I think that shows there was quite a bit of forward momentum by Dingwall and so a reasonable amount is to be expected on the pass. So no, it’s not a forward pass, and if it was called forward there would be more uproar than it not being called which I think says everything. There’s your engaging discussion. But the manners and respect refer to the players’ conduct, not fans online. Respectfully, those attributes can do one, that image holds the sport back, whether you like it or not
@@jakeclough8090 Jake, that's a much better response, well done. As for what is holding rugby back, there are quite a few factors that you perhaps haven't considered. I've seen your post on another video about rugby having an upper class image problem. That only really applies to the UK, not the rest of the world and even in the UK, as you rightly point out, it's just a perception. Most people access rugby at club level but those that make it professionally tend to come through the private school system because they get exposed to the game for longer periods so have the advantage of better coaching and more game time and training.
However, the class issue is not what is holding rugby back. In fact, nothing is holding it back, it's growing globally in terms of viewing numbers and participation. On an individual country basis, yes, there are some falling participation rates but that's mainly due to competition with relatively new sports such as mountain biking. The idea that rugby could be the second biggest game in the world is not realistic. It's nowhere near the top ten for participation and is 9th for viewing numbers.As you have pointed out, it's a hard game to play and not enjoyable for everyone so playing numbers are low globally when compared to non contact sports like field hockey, football or basketball. As player numbers are low and most people need to have played it to understand the game, that means viewing numbers are also going to be low as a result. That will mean the game will always be behind non contacts. NFL is a good example, really popular in the states but not really anywhere else because its physically challenging and complicated. They've got 300 million people most of whom get exposed to football from an early age. USA have over a million rugby players, it's played in high schools, colleges, even the military branches play it. There is no class image with it over there, it's simply never going to compete with NFL, NBA or MBL. Things to consider: climate of different countries, often too hot to play (although Sevens is doing well as its a short less contact based game), money, who is going to pay for coaches, facilities etc at grassroots level in less developed regions? Cultural backgrounds, many societies would find it difficult to accept such physical confrontation, especially in the women's game.
Food for thought.
