Maybe my lack of familiarity, but I just couldn't find all that much strategy or technique to appreciate as a spectator, I'm sure it's there I just couldn't pick it up. And of course there are the ever present faux hawks.

I found it to be confusing when I first started watching it. Some Rugby fans that I knew, who happened to originally be from Queensland, refered to it as "ping pong". Once I figured out what the hell was going on it made a lot more sense. I really liked the battles for the "mark" and the "mark" itself.
