[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 92978"] Yeah I know what the iRB want to do, I wouldn't have started this thread otherwise! :) The iRB have been experiementing in South Africa with the rules for ages now. Stellenbosch is merely acting as one of many. The great and good of refereeing have been chewing the fat over what they want to change and do. When they've finished beta testing the rules in SA they'll test them elsewhere. Most of the rules are quite innovative and radical but....backs keeping 5m behind the scrum? Nice one, thats yet [i]another[/i] thing that the referee has to remember, y'know because he hasn't got enough already on his plate like making sure the ball goes in straight, checking to see if the scrum is koshier in about five different areas. If he has to remember two imaginary lines on top of all that, that is way too much for a ref to officiate over. Also, who the hell thought of the idea to collapse mauls?! I know, lets make sure scrums are that much safer.....and then make mauls a total death-trap! Yes nice one iRB, expect to see quite a negative reaction against that one. Also, removing corner flags, what the hell is all that about? That'll just make try decisions all the more controversial. [/QUOTE]
