Just watched Sco v Wales from 1988 on the iPlayer. Rugby was soooo much better to watch in those days.
Had forgotten how good Fin Calder was.
Very noticeable that even though the ref made some howlers, not a single bit of back chat or arm flapping or disgusted looks or any of that bollocks.

I find the poor handling annoying when watching older games but generally more enjoyable to watch.

The line-outs crack me up, but I do enjoy watching them.

I find them fun to watch but I do wonder whether, if I was watching them live caring about the result, I'd be raging about the arbitrary decisions and rules.
You also need to remember that often these are just highlights or, if it is the full game, it is a game that people remember and have bothered to put up a video of. You're not going to find many videos of some of the 0-0 and 3-0 stinkers there were!
