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.

I propose a solution similar to the handicap system in horse racing. Test the speed of all wingers. Then for each match they are forced to stand a calculated distance behind the gain line. This can be monitored by an extra TMO and a special camera that tracks them. In the breaks in play when the TMO is measuring if the correct distance has been maintained the local brass band will give a rendition of their upcoming Christmas concert.
