[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 763035, member: 55446"] I don't think the lineout needs to change. The problem is spoiling of the scrum eating up the last minutes, not setting it up, and the lineout rarely gets spoiled. If the winning team kicks for a lineout, at least the losing team gets possession. If the losing team kicks for the lineout, then they deserve to be punished for being daft. But I really like the suggestion for the scrum. An alternative could also be to replace scrums with tap-and-goes for the last five minutes. But the team defending the lead has to do this for a lot longer now. Rather than 2 of the last 3 minutes being eaten up by a scrum, they will have to grind out the win for 3 minutes, giving the losing team a much higher chance of regaining possession. [/QUOTE]
