[QUOTE="Festo, post: 838140, member: 73159"] Hi All, thank you for your responses to the post, and lively debate. It seems we do have a few people interested in the subject, so it is worth debating. The main reason for my post in the first place was to highlight the fact that there are many laws which are difficult to judge, and so we see the use of the TMO ect. I can't get my head around the fact that feeding into the scrum is one of the easiest laws to referee, due to the game at that moment being static with all eyes focused in the same area of play. We used to call it the "put in", but now commentators and the like call it "feeding" or "feed into the scrum", so that only goes to show how through evolution we have come to accept this as the norm. Chipping away at the foundations of the principle of the laws can not be good for the sport, we don't want to end up like football do we? Just like any other law in any other sport, you can't pick and choose which rules/laws you are going to obey. In an attempt to enforce this law a little while ago did they not instruct that hookers make a strike for the ball on "put in", in a vain attempt to put this right. All that is needed is for a referee to blow up a few times for feeding, or just scrap the law altogether and this debate would be mute. [/QUOTE]
