Rugby is probably as good as it’s ever been. It’s never been quicker, more skilful or tougher to play at the highest level.
It *is* becoming quite complex with regards to the systems & tactics used by different teams.
I think the perception issues around the game at the moment come from these facets of the game being explained poorly by some media outlets.

I don’t I’ve ever seen box kicking being explained adequetly on a TV broadcast. Not the literal act of kicking but WHY teams do it.
I do think stopping the clock until a scrum completes would prevent teams from cheesing the clock but there’s no need for radical rule changes.

You don’t have to like box kicking btw, but it isn’t as simple as “they’ve run out of ideas and now they’re going to roll the dice on a box kick”.
