[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1065731, member: 58362"] In effect, this compensates for the "advantage" of having the put in meaning that you're trying to win the ball with 7 men compared to your opponent's eight. If people want to see a contest, another waymust be found to give the upper hand to the team with the put in that doesn't go so far as to totally remove the defending side's ability to take one against the head. It was, but you're never going to get all the evil back into Pandora's box. Trying to return to 1980s or earlier style of scrums would result in a huge rise in collapses / resets. Not something that could be entertained given the much greater forces at play these days. [/QUOTE]
