[QUOTE="lucky number 7, post: 326110, member: 39747"] The problem ireland have with producing good scrummagers goes right down to the grassroots level . underage props are not encouraged to learn the art of scrummaging as the maxiimum push limit is 1 metre ..this leads to players focusing so much more time and effort working on their loose play rather than learning how to destroy the opposition prop at scrumtime . before we can really expect to produce a top quality scrummager the 1 metre rule needs to be abolished thus giving greater weight to the scrum in underage rugby and rewarding good scrum technique with penalties rather than conceding them for being too good for the opposition .. and scrumming is all technique i have seen a 12 stone number 6 completely obliterate a 16 stone loosehead time after time winning his team penalties as he had been taught the technique perfectly...there needs to be more focus on teaching scrummaging to the youth if we are ever to intend on competing with the likes of NZ consitantly [/QUOTE]
