The arguement is quite simple. Indoors is suposed to be played on a hand ball court with 5m deep endzones (it may actually be 4m? I will check before the tournie) which happens to be 20m by 40m. The lack of walls removes some of the injury dangers and allows the game to be played as it should be. The way to beat an endzone zone indoors is to cut from the back to the front of the zone and on proper size pitches you can do it. Just because the facilities in this country suck is no reason to prevent a proper venue being used when it becomes available! Adam PS The same tactics work, its just there is a reasonable amount of space to do it in.
