I suppose that theoretically that is true. But, IFAB set out and amend the rules of the game and I really can't think of any examples of anything they've done that would benefit teams playing in the 'British way'.
In fact, one of the examples of IFAB's changes I've seen was the outlawing of the tackle from behind (no sniggering at the back there!). You could argue that this penalised the more physical style of British play if anything.
