London Irish 13 Harlequins 6: Rautenbach and Ross prop up case for current laws
If you can imagine a game of rugby in which the scrum was the most gripping theatre of action, in which the line-out tested the skills and discipline of every forward on the field, in which the breakdown was so fiercely contested that the age-old mutual loathing between two neighbouring clubs rose slowly to the surface in a smoulder of spit and snarl, in which hulking great lumps like Faan Rautenbach and Mike Ross were every bit as significant as a Shane Geraghty or a David Strettle – if you can imagine all this, you\'re imagining the events that unfolded in Reading at the weekend. And certain members of the International Rugby Board want to do away with it? To hell with them.
