Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

If you change the rule about substitutions and when you go off its permanent in the game teams will either pack the bench with props or they will disappear to be replaced with a host of second row tackling machines

The only thing I'd consider is changing grubber kicks caught in goal to be 20 metre taps, same as high kicks. The rest is fine and just a matter of coaching and tactics.

I think the interchange rules are fine. They allow for impact players to come on and add excitement. They add an extra dimension to the game.

Agree with this. The last thing we need is more workhorse tackling machines.

As mentioned it's on the refs to call held quicker and enforce a held call that's not listened to, alongside severely penalising the twisting of limbs and cannonball tackles etc and techniques that are designed to simply slow the play the ball or hurt the attacker. That, along with enforcing offside properly would help speed up play.

How many teams have one back as a substitute at the moment? Most teams now have a bench consisting of forwards only.
If a player isn't capable of 80 minutes then he shouldn't be playing the game.
The more substitutions available the more forwards and ten minute impact players will be selected in place of potential game changing players

Isn't a 10-minute impact player a game changer? Far more than most backs picked on the bench. Most back subs are only there to cover for injuries, not because they are likely to swing a game. In an era with increasing versatility generally amongst players keeping a bench spot for a back is seen as a waste (as it generally is if you have to pick a hooker there as well).

Its not so much the bench that people want to see changed as the ability of genuinely skilful players - i.e. halfbacks - to shine through. The argument is that they don't get space if tackles are slow and they are constantly facing relatively fresh big men who are mobile (bigger players now are far more mobile than they were).

I tend to think that what we're seeing now is part of an inevitable move in the sport towards athletes across the field, with reduced specialisation following as a result. A bit like the atom bomb, its impossible to 'uninvent' progress in sports science. I think its also important to remember that whilst some commentators and fans might not like it, a lot of coaches - particularly of course those who are winning under current rules - don't want to see things changed too much. In Australia that's a big deal because coaches are included in the rule-change process.

Does facing tired defenders really improve a half-back's skill levels though?

The effect would just be to make it easier for mediocre but agile smaller players to get around the bigger guys, rather than having to try and find ways to open up the defence with a pass or a kick.

Burrow is a perfect example.

Arguably, he's not had to build his skill levels that much because his game has been predominantly about exploiting tired defenders in the middle of the field.

If you increase those fatigue levels by making the big men play extra minutes, then you're making life easier for the more agile player rather than pushing them to find other ways of breaking down defences.
