[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 502061, member: 13739"] Got to be honest, going back to baggy cotton shirts is not a good idea, and not something I particularity want to see. I never enjoyed playing in them, and they do very little for the marketability of the sport. I see nothing wrong with the well designed tight-fit shirts used today, and having a small patch on the props for binding reasons seems a fair compromise. If it's around the armpit area, it won't get in the way in open field, and makes the ref's lives slightly easier when it comes to checking for binding. Not sure why anyone would complain about the proposed 5second rule for scrum-halves. 5 seconds is plenty of time to get the ball away, and will stop this annoying intentional arsing around at the back of rucks, including the human chain thing teams are doing to give their scrum-halves more time and room for box kicking. Every rule seems fine to me. I'm not sure the changes in the engagement to the scrum will do much of a difference, but Cymro has suggested it will help somewhat, so I'll wait and hope he's right. I still believe that getting rid of the hit is the way to go, but I hope to be proven wrong. [/QUOTE]
