We have just been humped so badly by Arg that I think we might have to give them the Falklands.

For some reason England decided a winning strategy was to kick the ball away or seek contact. Argentina showed them the value of moving the ball into space.

It's intense but it's a bit of a gimmick

But isn’t the drama created by the lighting just, well, dramatic

Carefully. Bruce only goes to the Mil Stad/Principality to where a daffodil hat and watch the pre-match entertainment.

True, I've also been known to enjoy visiting Sandy Park with feathers in my hair to watch the tackling prowess of an otter.

I caught some of it and found it enjoyable enough. The staging looked pretty good to me and it was very well attended by an enthusiastic crowd. Its not test rugby, or even rugby 7's, but its not meant to be. I think Its worth trying something new to attract a new/different audience, and if it leads to greater participation in the game then that will be a good thing.

This. My 8 year old loved watching it and he won’t watch 15 aside.

Glad you went with that rather than my grammar/spelling/autocorrect fails. Nobody outside of Devon will ever understand the need for grown men to dress and sing like native Americans, but rampant inbreeding leads to strange results.
