[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 276150"] Just in from RFU dated today 27/08/09 : <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> Upshot... if your team causes scrums to go uncontested, you will not be able to replace the front-row player who goes off, and you'll have to play with 14 players. That will put a stop to the type of cunning ploy London Wasps pulled in the GP Final last year. If this regulation had been in force last season, when Tim Payne went off injured, they would not have been allowed to bring Joe Worsley on, and would have to pick a player already on the park to pack down in the front row of the uncontested scrums, and play the rest of the match a man short. And about time too!!! [/QUOTE]
