I would probably agree...
Welsh and Irish Rugby is far more free flowing and played out the hands more than what the English Game, however some of the sides are starting to go that way more, but it doesn't work in the English game always...
Even Bath have started to try and play with a more fluid backline but with a very strong Forward pack, but it doesn't work to the same effiency as it does in Wales and Ireland

This argument always reminds me, incongruously to some perhaps, of one of the Indiana Jones movies in which a Persian swordsman steps in front of Indy, and performs some marvellously fluid movements with his sword, grimacing at Indy through his beard, his sword twirling and sparkling as he deftly works out like the expert he is.
Indy then takes out his gun and shoots him. Simple answer, problem solved.
For the Persian swordsman, read Llanelli. for Indian Jones and his gun, read Leicester.
What I guess should happen is that all these **** poor England club teams, if not to say England itself, ought to stand back and watch the circus acrobat teams come out. They can run in circles, add a bit of Riverdance high speed footwork, pass the ball to each other as they run around doing 100m sprint speeds, perform a multitude of baseball passing skills, roll around biting the grass, growl like celtic warriors and tackle the corner flag for good measure - then get hit by some heavy forwards, have the ball turned over, and watch as the tank moves across the line and scores a try against them.
Leicester, and Goode, played some good rugby. Llanelli played some good rugby. However, the amount of good rugby played by Llanelli was nullified by the amount played by Leicester.
The old, old, rule of having dominant forwards to provide good ball for the backs.
