[QUOTE="Blindside6, post: 276180"] It is a good step forward to make sure that the scrums remain a fair contest and that injuries aren't used to disadvantage a team with a powerful scrum. However I still have a couple of ****ling doubts. The first is that there will be extra pressure on a genuinely injured front row player to remain on if all replacements have been used already. Secondly, with an extra front row player now being required for the bench will we start to see a deficit in props in the lower levels as the better ones get dragged upwards just to sit on a bench.
