[QUOTE="Roady26, post: 985533, member: 82737"] It's not as easy as it looks, especially if your going backwards and you have their 9 and flankers all over you and the locks hooves making a mess of the ball. There can be quite a lot of decision making with your 9 and 10 about options based on field position etc. Also a big carry early in the game keeps their flankers honest and their half-backs wary every scrum in case you pick again. If you have a stable scrum then its not so hard to let your 9 dig it out from under your feet if you are inexperienced/covering 8 but your 10 won't thank you if their openside and 9 are all over him all game - or having to kick clear from the deadball line everytime in your own 22.
