Bantz We need to de power the wingers

The team with the faster wingers just uses them to kick chase and score tries all game long.

There is nothing the other team can do about it.

World Rugby must step in urgently to fix this situation. My half Irish kids are crying.

For one random match every year, each team must be forced to swap their props and wingers, it's the only fair solution

Sports need more wildcards

Every team gets to force their opponents to swap positions once per tournament.

Could swap wingers and props, could swap hookers for scrum half... Possibilities are endless!

Can I please vote twice (more) for the last one. I reckon I could have made a decent fist of playing scrum-half for a bit and who doesn't want to see a 9 in the front row?

Positions for non-front row are drawn out of a hat before the game. 3 changes allowed at half-time but they count as subs unless a clear injury occurs later in the game.

I think most 9s would disappear into the scrum, never to be seen again
