I LOVE this. While Australians have generally loved rugby's Experimental Law Variations for making the game faster and more spectacular, the Brits, with their natural preference for things to be slower and more dull (see Geoffrey Boycott), have been far less sure.
What they're mostly doing is still discussing the laws and coming up with their own ideas on how they should be changed.
A case in point is the proposals put forward by Leicester and England hooker George Chuter.
Tell 'em what you said, George. "I was disappointed that some of the ELV suggestions I emailed to the IRB appear not to have been considered worthy of even a trial in the Welsh fourth division.
These include scrums instead of kick-offs, scrums instead of lineouts, scrums instead of backs moves and the outlawing of any hair product.
I don't know where our game is heading but I'm sure it's going to be a place that doesn't welcome fat, slow old people with no hair. I'll get my coat."
Right up there for the quote of the year!
