[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 827134, member: 58362"] I've said this already - I just can't see why the 4TBP system is ever better than the 3+ More system. I'm tempted to go so far as to suggest that the 4TBP is instrumental in killing one sided games deader than they would have been without bonus point in place as it creates a "game over" focal point in players and coaches' psyches and encourages rafts of substitutions. I also like the fact that it denies the losing side a TBP, which can end up being awarded to teams who have been beaten out of sight so badly that a Super Rugby game breaks out, but denies them to more competitive losers who keep their opposition on their toes until the end of the game. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Someone should Tweet it at him. I'd expect a frosty reception though, I recently read or heard him saying that he still gets plenty of ribbing about it, it didn't sound like he finds it too amusing! [/QUOTE]
