5m line-out instead of 5m scrum

[sigesige00]

5m scrum should be replaced by 5m line-out (the touch-line from which line-out is taken can be chosen by the team which have the ball).
What do you think?

 

[Feicarsinn]

This is actually the best one yet. There is literally no possible advantage in this proposal whatsoever. Usually I can at least understand Sige's twisted logic, but this is bizarre. Replace one set piece with another set piece. Why? Lol, why not?

I love it and am in total agreement.

This is the logic: sigesige00 doesn't like scrums.

 

[Jaguares]

Well, Wallabies would be grateful with this change...

 

[sigesige00]

This is the logic: sigesige00 doesn't like scrums.

Scrum is time-consuming, dangerous, and difficult to judge, and too many fouls from scrums.
In the case of carry-back, the opponent side can choose:

1 point or 5m line-out

This is the best, I think.

That's right. There are too many fouls, too many difficult decisions, and too many fouls in scrums. And scrums are dangerous.

In the case of 5m scrum,

The opponent side can choose 1 point or 5m line-out.

Actually, there is

At a five metre scrum both the attacking team and the defending team have to have their backs 5m back, however, at a 5m line-out, the defending team only have to have their backs 5m back, while the attacking team have to have their backs 10m back.

A 5m line-out is therefore, technically more advantageous to the defending team than a 5m scrum.

yes. true... But according to my Rugby Knowledge... and excuse me if I'm totally wrong... But isn't a lineout only awarded when a kick out of touch is made???

scrums are used to reset the gameplay for a mistake made in play, ie. knock-on, forward pass, touchdown in own goal line, kick made over the dead ball line(22 drop out) etc.

changing a scrum to a lineout is changing the core of rugby union!

I wouldn't have a problem with there being a choice for the attacking side. They can chose either a scrum or lineout.

Edit. Actually, Heineken has a point.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

The Bokke are usually up there (pardon the pun) ITO line-out capability. I have no problem with this proposal.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Replace scrum with second crossbar.

If so, then how about 5m FK?

How about: No!!
