[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 568922, member: 48703"] So will this see a complete re-evaluation of who the top props are? Could we next season we could see Tony Buckley emerge as one of the best under the new calls. I don't know why they didn't just change back to the old calls that they had before. In the old times the top scrummagers like Os du Randt for example were rewarded for their skill and the scrum and could profit from it, but equally it didn't take up so much time and didn't award points for occasions where teams just flop on the ground and the referee is essentially just guessing the infringement and the audience has no clue. I don't like the idea that under new rules you could get away with just playing flankers and the scrummaging prop dies. It will be sad if the scrum gets so bad we just get to Rugby League scrums. I also hope the changes have been made because of the problem about the time it takes, the bad spectacle for viewing, and the fact too many penalties result from it. [/QUOTE]
