[QUOTE="Jayatron, post: 468992, member: 37607"] Personally I have never heard of any team not contesting a lineout because they are frustrated with the referee. I personally think, and this may annoy some people, that lineouts and scrums are ways to restart game and should be treated like so. Though the lineout is, in my opinion, the most enjoyable part of rugby I still think only if something happens that stops the defending team from competing fairly for the ball it should just be played on. As for scrums unless a prop brings down a scrum on purpose then no penalties should be given. So if a team wins the ball and keeps driving through in attempt to win a penalty then the ref should shout "use it". It's way to restart the game and should be used as a attacking platform not a way to kick 3 points. Though the iRB's proposed changes are interesting I really think they should be looking at the little things, but I won't stick by this until I see the new ones in action. [/QUOTE]
