[QUOTE="TNT88, post: 385222, member: 47834"] Great summary of the differences. The good fly halves keep the attack going from anywhere on the pitch until they get to the point where there is nothing on, and kick. (In Australia at least) Most turnovers are won before the ruck has even started (unfortunately). Either because; - We kill the ball quicker. - SH players tend to see too much risk (of penalty) going for the turnover after the ruck has formed. - With the above in mind, if your late to the ruck you should get back in the defense to try and pounce on the next tackle before the ruck forms. The refs are very strict when it comes to slowing the ball down. They are big on rewarding positive rugby. If the tackler doesn't release the tackled player the defending team usually gets pinged if they try anything from that point on. Not sure if they do this in the NH? Generally anything marginal gets let go. Unless its blatantly deliberate. Not sure why though. I don't have a favorite style of rugby. NH teams know how to make an intense game out of any conditions, while Super XV teams know how to run riot in perfect weather. [/QUOTE]
