[QUOTE="Goodey, post: 706779, member: 69270"] 1. No. Faletau isn't even on his feet when he picks it up (he drops to one knee to reach into the scrum). If players were allowed to grab the ball from the middle of a scrum marching backwards then we can kiss goodbye to the scrum as a contest and play league. The ref not giving this a second glance is quite shocking when you remember how ruthless he was in not awarding Attwood's try because England possibly infringed in the previous decade. 2. No, it was the only scrum in the match that had a genuine up front contest - and given the way it was reffed it was easy to see why neither side were keen to have that again 3. Possibly. Hard to tell. England often have their entire scrum keep facing straight on but with lateral movement to the right as well to unseat the opposition. It's not angling in but it's dodgy. 4. Arguably, but not before Faletau does. 5. No try. [/QUOTE]
