I made my view clear about it on an early thread. I would be of the same opinion as you Lynchbhoy. Rules have to be respected but the punishment should also equal the crime. I was talking to a mate from the our club and he said they had similar issues in rugby in Newzealand so rather than play by age group they played by weight. If you were the right weight you played at the right level. It stopped man childs from dominating at underage and helped them improve as they played at their particular level instead. Is this not something that could be looked at?
