Ten to Three

So a lot of time we hear the story about SXV not "real rugby". Not enough set piece and too much emphasise the try and about entertain and fast moving too much.

But on the biggest over-the-hemisphere competing day there is a statistic of 10 tries to 3 to the teams that filled by the SXV players.

Unsurprise that the SH won three of the four match and the one they don't win was no tries score at all!

So is it time for NH clubs to emphasis more the try and accepting that win the modern rugby all about score more points and no more favour the defense and negative aspect about playing?

Wales always playing the constructive way and England trying to get there. Scotland even develop the backs and maybe Ireland just a bit timewarped is my mind.

But is the skills built in the clubs and developing to play this game? Is not look that way from what comes on show.

The constrasting in the skills to executing this game is very loud when we watching so many game one after the other.

Hi mate...

Made a few corrections for you, help you improve your English... Seem to be getting better so this forum and the vast quantity of posts you so confidently scribe seem to be helping. I noticed a number of posts earlier, with absolutely no mistakes whatsoever...

Well done... A big pat on the back needed for that...



So a lot of time we hear the story that SXV is not "real rugby. Not enough set piece and too much emphasis(No "E") on the try and about entertain(ING) and VERY fast moving.

But on the biggest day of cross-hemisphere competing there were (i know you are trying to prove your use of vocabulary, but adding words unnecessarily is unnecessary) 10 tries to 3 to the teams that are filled by the SXV players.

Unsurprising that the SH won three of the four matches and the one they didn't win had no tries score at all!

So is it time for NH clubs to emphasis more on the try and accept (no need for the "ing") that winning (the "ing goes here").
Modern rugby all about scoring more points and not (no need for MORE) favour the defence and negative aspect about playing?

Wales are always playing in a constructive way and England are trying to (no need for "get there"). Scotland may even develop the backs and maybe Ireland are just a bit timewarped is my opinion.

But are the skills in-built at the clubs who are developing to play this way? (Is not look that way from what comes on show.) THIS BIT MAKES NO GRAMMATICAL SENSE, YOU NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING LIKE, "this is not the way it appears to me?") OR SIMILAR...!

The contrast (AGAIN NO "ing") in the skills execute ( and AGAIN no "ing") this game is very obvious when we watch (Seriously remember NO "ing") so many games, one after the other.

Hahaha HERSH is having a difficult day today.

Thank you for take the time and make some correction! I will study and improve so I dont making the mistakes.

My mind is you have a bit of fun with me and criticise about make too many gibberish postings! Well I am apology about it and try to get better fastest so I can more nuance speaking about much subtle points in my mind that too exhaust to write down and so slow to make grammar that conversations and game moving on!

No only trying to help...!

You post "ing" far to often and unnecessarily.

Here i copied and Pasted this for you...

You've probably seen a lot of verbs with "ING" at the end of them, like "sleeping," "talking," or "walking." There are two basic reasons to add "ING" to the end of a verb: to form one of the progressive tenses, or to make a gerund.

We use the progressive tenses to talk about on-going actions. There are progressive tenses for the past, present, and future. For example, the present progressive looks like this, "I am walking to work right now." Progressive tenses are formed with be + main verb + ing, as in, "Joe stopped by while I was watching a movie."

"ING" verbs can also be gerunds, which act like nouns in a sentence. In the sentence, "I do the cleaning and my wife does the cooking," for example, both cleaning and cooking are gerunds. Gerunds often follow other verbs, as in, "I can’t stop thinking about you," or, "I love skating."

Ok maestegmafia I try not to make "ing" all the time in the bad place and not upset you by it.

Doesnt upset me in the slightest, just trying to help.

I do think that using a forum as a way to practice your written english is a very sensible way to improve your grasp of the language.

Where are you from any way?

Yes I was warned to try contribute to the forum of interest in my school about learn English. Because learn the "real" use the language and not some "book" language. And learn the colloquial. So it not my idea! But can be very useful except when I annoy the other posters with my bad grammar and becomes the issue and not the content what I talk about.

Practice makes perfect as they say...

I am sure that people will be lenient on your grammatical errors if you post in a friendly and entertaining manner.

Another stringent part of a new language is to learn the cultures surrounding that language, what entertains and what offends.

You will feel a real grasp of the language once you understand the humour and what people do not find funny.

Not annoying in thr slightest but have you thought about perhaps trying some other types of forums to help with the English? I'm slightly concerned that you may pick up some bad linguistic habits from a rugby forum. Or you could just try reading some books - they'd be more useful than you may think.

Ulysses by James Joyce maybe...?

THankyou for the concern Cadair! I promise to you that I dont just type on the forum! Except on rugby days! I also go to the language school and do the real study and read a lot of books before I go to sleep and on the tube. So I am learn quite a lot of different ways. But is more useful to the colloquial from here because it is real and also the language is not too difficult like it is on philosophy or politics or science forums where the posters are professional writers and use a lot difficult vocabulary and grammar.

I'm very relieved to hear it AWOP. The language school is evidently doing excellent work! So what are you reading at the moment before you go to sleep or on the tube? I would thoroughly recommend Mark Ring's autobiography (Ringmaster - the incredible story of Welsh rugby's Clown Prince) for a cerebral read on Welsh rugby. I suspect you are more of a Tolstoy man (in English translation) though!

Well I was recommend to read Paulo Coelho by a lady in my reading class but to me it seems like some nonsense so I might try to read instead about this clown.

In all fairness....AWOP, your vernacular is more thai prostitute than croation, turk, japanese whatever. HOWEVER, it would be a shame if this devalued your actual point, which is a very good one. The opening round of tests has shown a minor difference in mental attitudes between the NH and SH. I actually agree with you. The england SA was a very turgid affair, two similar mindsets.....wales OZ has been the one that dissapointed me most. I expected so much more of Wales but their plan A seemed to emphasise NH mentality. Scotland won with that mind set and ireland? well the least said the better.....hopefully we live and learn. I for one loved the bosh of england and wales. For all the talk of bokke power engalnd actually had more. Pure physical strength power. But SA were far better. Wales also seemed to lose their way. Maybe they assumed too much from the scotland game....who knows. Bring on rd 2. England are going to struggle against the only team in the world who plays 'that' form of rugby better than them. Wales will win the series. Ireland....hmmm, whatever and scotland will beat fiji then lose to samoa to put their oz win into perspective.

And btw....thanks for the link fellas

I dont think he mentioned whether he was Thai, Croatian, Turk, Japanese or whatever...!

He has in the past. He lied but it doesn't spoil the fact that sometimes he's right

Everyone can be "right" once in a while...!

Hmmm...correct then? Today this unusual chap has been correct. I've no doubt he's an ozzy or a kiwi but on this occasion he's right. Wether you're welsh, english or scots, unfortunately we (British - like it or not), share a communal blood line, dna and all that....we are naturally attritional. It's what we do, who we are. These polynesians have a different genetic make up!

Ha! Don't let Biltonguebek here you say "turgid". He get very upset on me for say some similar about the game! and thought I was criticise SA.

I also enjoy SA v ENG but thought it was a bit old fashion style.

Wales v Australia was the most entertain game in my mind. It is interest to me the match up: Wales v Australia play similar style of expansive rugby and SA and ENG both play powerful direct games.

I am very much enjoy the three test series idea again and will be interested to see how the teams adapt and the combinators made by the coaches.

It's all about hte combinators.....you're right again

Yes is make some foundation to the game context and is also interest about the selection of sub-combinators to the back line, the back row, tight five and pivots to making the full picture about team to executing the game plan. Is entertain to predicting the shape of game in clash the plans by check out the starting combinators and construction to the substitution bench.

For example you can tell that all blacks anticipation to be some points ahead and using new game plan from the bench combinator to slow out the game and switch to more creation on attack and more intelligent less brawnful ending.

I am scary you bluesman?
