The Great Ruck Debate.

[kruddler]

That's one consideration but not necessarily a compelling one.

It's more about fielding a team that is best equipped to beat the opposition.  That team could have one ruckman and a competent part timer (not Matt Kennedy) or two genuine ruckmen, at least one of whom should have more than one string to their bow.

Not a compelling one from my point of view either.

I agree in theory.

In practice, i'm yet to see a side where we are better off by playing 2 rucks against that given team if/when we have our first choice KPPs available at selection.
As i said, its all about team balance.....for us....and who we have available.

If we lose Charlie or Harry, play 2 rucks. No issue.
