[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 825786, member: 71826"] Agree on that, but that's just something you have to accept. The IRB can't issue a directive saying "Coaches have to stop teaching players to be naughty" and expect it to make a scrap of difference! This is an old discussion, but whenever I've been involved in it what strikes me is that I generally agree with almost every suggestion anyone has to improve scrums! It just goes to show a) how many problems there are and b) how desperate we are for a solution. The most frustrating thing is how nothing lasts. A coupel of years ago we were back to straight feeds ... gone, can't even remember that quarter of a season period anymore. Early this year we were told there was to be a time limit from whistle to the scrum being set, and a time limit on keeping the ball at the 8's feet. Both feel like distant memories less than half a season later. [/QUOTE]
