An end to box kicks

-

As a concerned rugby-watching public, we are all disappoint­ed by watching countless futile halfback box kicks.

This may have cost us victory in the recent England-All Blacks game. Why reduce box kicks?

(1) We lose possession and the opposition counteratt­ack, winning more advantage.

(2) It is boring rugby.

(3) What is the backline for if the halfback keeps box kicking?

(4) We don’t want AFL, we want running rugby.

I have faith and confidence that the backline can do more than a box kick. Nick Humphries, Karori
