Of course, by saying this he's also saying "we're right and they are
wrong" and thus undermining his own argument as there is no "right" or
"wrong" way to play rugby and anyone who tells you there is can...

Oh Will. Look at the thread again to see who is whinging. Clue: It's
O'Neill and you.
But your last paragraph sums it up. "Down here we have a..."
O'Neill is thinking about what's good for Australian rugby and trying
to tell us that we're stupid if we like any other style of rugby.
That's the bottom line. Too bad O'Neill, if you weren't so arrogant
about it and didn't have mindless drones like Will here, you might get
more agreement, but the way you guys are going about it, I guarantee
the NH will be dead against you whatever you propose.
He's insulting the people he's trying to convince to change, and you
claim he's a smart man?
