[QUOTE="kusta, post: 677696, member: 44266"] Driving on an angle is really a technique and frankly the locks play the biggest part on that, its used by the team to lets say swing the scrum so to twist the number 8 to the open-side/free side and frankly eliminates the defensive loose forwards from getting to the ball. Its not easy to do it right though unless your scrum is going forward, then its somewhat acceptable. The only time you get the prop scrumming at an angle is when he is trying to twist the scrum by himeslf(worst idea) cause he wont be driving forward and frankly will be penalised for "scrumming in". Sometimes it works as an advantage of getting underneath the shoulders of your opposing prop and then being able to drive him up and backwards cause you'll be using the power from your thighs and hamstring and will make you get that advantage over him.
