It's been creeping into the game recently. I hope something is done.
Technically there's nothing wrong with it (Borthwicks binding is debatable in the above pic), but it's horrible, slows down the game and is negative to the point of tedium.

The hell??
Since they cracked down on rucking properly, then blocking this year, this has cropped up as a way to give the SH more time for a box kick. Sarries use it all the time and Tigers quite a bit. No doubt, everyone will be doing it next week...

Look at the Newcastle player with the scrum cap, looks like someone finds it amusing:lol:
I want them to put 14 players in one, and trail it all the back to their tryline, just for laughs.

His eyes are all scrunched up like he's luaghing
That is ridiculous. But technically not illegal. Expect England to utilise it fairly soon
Ha, true! Needless to say I think it looks pretty ridiculous. I mean if we've been using the same ruck for centuries, why change it now?
Centuries?
I hear William the Conqueror used a similar technique at Hastings
Lee Dickson is still in Twickenham stalling before box kicking to end the first half of the Wales game.

Even though it isn't illegal Nigel Owens seems to think it is for some reason. In the games i've seen him reff teams who use that tactic he always blows them up or makes a fuss about it
Any chance of reposting that pic???? not showing up now!

What is the problem with that? You know a kick is coming next. All they do is creating some time to get a kick away because Mcloiter do not get penalized these days.
