The long breaks are necessary, as it is the time for calling plays both on offense and on defense. I compare it to the lulls in the action in baseball.... and it's a lot more exciting for me. I've seen rugby and although there are less breaks in the action, it all seems to be a little helter-skelter, with no strategy or play-calling.... just non-stop running around. Different strokes, I guess.
