[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 93781"] You know DC, Australia were of the same opinion up until last year....until Wales surged in a 5 meter scrum and steamrollered the poor Aussies over their own line. In fact, guess what? When Wales and Australia met again in November, the Welsh almost pulled off eactly the same trick. Oh, yes, then there was the match before when a really impotent English side even ran rings around the Aussies and dominated the scrum, thus effectively castrating the Aussie threat. I think Brian Moore put it best when he said: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE("Brian Moore")</div> Brian Moore comes out with alot of rubbish, but he was bang on there. You won't lose games if your scrum is awful, but you will make it at least ten times harder on yourself. Look at Ireland, Scotland and Wales, they each have very strong packs who can scrum pretty damn well. You can angle the ball, DC, however you like, if your scrum is being turned at right angles or is being shoved back five meters within seconds, it won't matter one iota because you would have lost the ball. Australia found that out to their cost. At the end of the day, scrums are one of the vital parts of the game. [/QUOTE]
