[QUOTE="barkinghooker, post: 651984, member: 71333"] I think changes will be inevitable. I don't think the IRB have billions of euros in reserve when there's an NFL style lawsuit against them. I love the spectacle of the scrum. But the 'arm wrestle' it was is no longer. I just don't like it when a team is pinged for slightly going back when there's still an opportunity to reverse the pressure. I just don't see it anymore. I think team weight limits will protect the sport from becoming a an NFL style uniform (helmets). I actually like the brutal South Africans style of play and would love to see 15 jonah lomus v 15 chabals but I think the game will eventually turn into something else via lawsuits if we got to that point.
