Diving

[naza]

When did rugby turn into soccer ? Anybody else bothered by the increasing number of Hollywoods as kick chasers flop like they've been shot with an elephant gun ? Typically defenders are just standing their ground and the chaser runs into them in a deliberate attempt to milk a penalty.

Perhaps we're seeing more of it because of the disastrous ELVs encouraging aerial ping pong. Regardless, divers should be carded. Repeat offenders should be cooked to death in a vat of boiling oil and their families sold into slavery. Is that a tad harsh ?

Josh Valentine when Scotty Higginbottham tapped him on the cheek was the most embarrassing thing I have seen by an Aussie rugby player in some time.

Kurtley is doing pretty well. But the father of the modern rugby dive is Chris Latham.

Pom winger Sackey gave a superb diving exhibition (10.0 from all of many judges) in the last November test against the Wallabies.

No, he just has bad balance. (Come to think of it he does have a soccer background though...)

He will probably be at the game on saturday Scarfie, maybe you should heckle him about it?
