I was at a Broncos game at the end of last year and they replayed the London v Canberra game which London won at the Stoop, 20 years to the day I believe. Meninga was coach of the green ,machine, they had Ricky Stewart, Laurie Daly in the halves plus many more stars. I was surprised at just how fast the game was played.
I actually think it's abit of a Myth that the games faster now.
I think the players are bigger and fitter now certainly. But some of the rule changes and lack of regarding the ruck have slowed it down.
Plus from vague memories there was less one man rugby, more offloads. But I could be wrong.
Weren't Canberra one of the big Australian teams back then?
