New rule interpretations, which have produced a spate of high-scoring games in Super 14, are “very close to perfection,” Australia coach Robbie Deans said on Tuesday.

The Waikato Chiefs’ 72-65 win over South Africa’s Lions on Friday, in a match which produced a record number of points and tries, was cited by Deans as an example of what new rules could produce. “That was living proof of what is possible. If you’re constructive and prepared to play, you’ve got a chance,” Deans said.

A total of 52 tries were scored in the Super 14’s second round, 17 more than in the same round last year.
