[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 825765, member: 72205"] I've long been with Cooky on this one the problem with scrums is the penalty kick. Schenanigns happen due to the advantage it gives over recycling the ball out of the scrum. Both side are taught to scrummage to 'buy' the penalty, no amount of correct officiating will fix that because of the advantage gained if they win. You have to understand why they are scrummaging illegally before you can get them to stop. Only thing I disagree with is I'd just make it a free kick (that can't be taken as a scrum) but with yellow cards on offer for dangerous play. [/QUOTE]
