[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 632301, member: 57076"] lol it's pretty hilarious how they literally want to take the scrum out of regulation time from the sport. "Well we thought of just removin' it altogether, that bizaahhh scrum thingy where the forwards kinda chahhge at each othah...but then we got a big reaction so we said okay okay, let's just stop the clock then ?" Fk that. It's part of the game, clock stays. On a slightly different note, as a biased French fan, I think by trying to sort out the scrums (we do get less resets) they've fkd up a craft that's been there for generations, and decades since the pro era. Mas said it himself: "I've been taught to do smt for 15 years and they change it in the blink of an eye one year..." I've proposed the "penalty lowered to 2 points" myself before so I semi-agree with this. I'm cool with it staying 3 as well, but it does seem like *Team A scores a try and Team B connects on 2 penalties, score 5 to 6* is a bit questionable, unfair. A try should be worth more than two penalties, well that's debatable at least. And the breakdown is the area that's always, always going to continue to pose problems and be the least fairly judged, because of how hard it is to referee. I think refs do a decent enough job overall, although there's the *guy not rolling away, but he can't roll away and still gets penalized*, or the *guy rucking on the side a bit no penalty*...there's a bunch of stuff but hey, refs are human.
