[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 582303, member: 67273"] Again, you aren't getting my point. If there is too much pressure coming from the other scrum, then he has to go backwards. He wasn't driven backwards because he collapsed as soon he thought he was going to be. It's the equivalent of hugging your opponent in boxing. The whole point of trying to be dominant in the scrum is to push the other scrum backwards, if they collapse it, then they are illegally stopping you from gaining ground. Both sides of the scrum are duty-bound to hold up the scrum, even if you are being out muscled. It is completely illegal to intentionally stop an opposition drive by anything other than driving back.
