[QUOTE="Grizwald, post: 1210242, member: 71892"] I think these are two current issues. In the prem I heard a stat about the amount of fixtures pre Christmas that had a winning margin of 30 or more. It was big. I don't think it preparing the players for international rugby. The positive on the salary cap may be that more younger lads get exposed to pro rugby sooner. Borthwick and Co are too stats driven has been a criticism. It's all well and good until you get punched in the face and all that. Ireland adapted in the pitch yesterday, England don't seem to be able to and/or aren't given the freedom. [/QUOTE]
