Saracens are boring - says Schalk Brits

From the Tekegraph -

Gavin Mears - Schalk, there are a lot of your Saracens team-mates in that England backline, are England making the most of them?
Schalk Brits - It is pretty much the same boring rugby! At Saracens kick it a lot and tackle the life out of everybody. That is our focus point.

Shock horror! Rugby player gives his opinion!

Can't you tell it's a joke?


"They say ugly win, boring win, tough win, gutsy win, close win....All I hear is win "

Jacques Burger perfectly sums it up.

So Sarries arent boring?

Depends how you define boring. Boring for the opposition yes. Can be boring for the fans yes.

Ugly wins are better than pretty losses.

yawn

Sarries are trying to be less boring this season, the signing of Hodgson has seen attempts at back play and the use of wingers. The signings of Tomkins and Ashton suggest further attempts to upgrade the level of back play next season.

Last season Sarries did play like a bad League side, couple of crashes then a BIG kick down field. If it wasn't for their exception defence and brilliant kick chase they'd have been roundly slaughtered but with those valuable weapons they were a really efficient team. Sadly England seem to have hired the wrong Sarries coach.

Who cares? If playing boring rugby led to financial failure (lack of support) or competitive failure (lack of winning) then it would stop, but it doesn't, and not everybody thinks that rugby has to involve hundreds of tries and lots of running in broken field to be interesting. Pretty rugby and interesting rugby are different concepts and IMO you are confusing the two

In the context of the conversation he's saying that England are playing "the same boring rugby" that they did before Lancaster, not the same as Saracens.

He's saying both.
