[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1206693, member: 86934"] I enjoy it too, I like the connection to fans, that tactical nature, and the idea that despite freaks of nature performing in very specific positions it is essentially a game of chess. I get why people struggle with it, it has the same barriers as rugby, it really isn't something a newbie can just watch and get into, rules are super complex, and play is difficult to understand. Rugby and AF parallels are always surface level, I can tell you now that next to 0% of bigger AF players could handle 8 minutes of rugby, and even the biggest props would be humiliated in the NFL. I agree with whoever said if LRZ loved AF so much he would have played it, Universities have massive AF leagues in BUCS these days, and there are more and more community teams. As for the family, they are extremely close nit, his dad is a bit brutal on him, I've sat in the sauna with him praising LRZ for his try v Ireland and his dad's response was 'the tart nearly got caught by a prop'. His dad is a very doting father though, doesn't like the WRU very much, very typical welahman lol. I wouldn't be surprised if the family do a Kardashian type TV show, I get the feeling this move is about leveling up. I also don't know anyone wanting him to fail, of course Welsh fans want him back, but fair play to him, you get one life go and try everything once. [/QUOTE]
