[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 582334, member: 67273"] It doesn't really matter whether or not it's happening intentionally, it's beside the point. If a side has a dominant scrum, and the opposition keeps collapsing ([I]whether intentional or not[/I]) they are denying the opposition side the opportunity to gain territorial advantage from the scrum. "Sometimes collapsing happens" - mainly because sides are unwilling to concede territory. If it's happening unintentionally that often, then the prop/pack in question is simply incompetent. I think you're underestimating the percentage of intentional collapsed scrums. Players should be carded if they are not able to scrummage correctly. It shouldn't get to that point though, not if you pick players who can do their job! [/QUOTE]
