I watched All Blacks V England today (Sky+ it) and I must say I did enjoy watching it.
I like watching Australia/NZ RU as they play exciting rugby all round - however I wouldn't watch England v Scotland/Wales/Ireland as I do find those games painfully boring.
SA can be ok to watch though.
I watched most of that game (was interested in SBW playing as well as the other League converts)
What strikes me most about Union is how the rules stifle the best teams and bring the teams much closer – the All Blacks were so superior to the English team it was untrue and yet the score line ended up pretty close. As far as I can see that is because the rules at the breakdown make it very difficult to develop structured attacking plays
What I would say is that if those two teams were playing League, the All Blacks would have won by 50+... Union must be such a frustrating game to play if you are a talented rugby player
