[QUOTE="Mike Rolls, post: 826479, member: 72439"] Have I missed a change in the laws? Time and again recently I have seen scrum halves pick the ball out of a scrum when it is still clearly in front of the foremost feet |(usually the number eight, of course). It gives him a fraction of a second's advantage over his opposite number who has to wait to see what is happening. Also, time and again, one sees teh scrum have who didn't put the ball in, give the player who did a generous push to send him way back behind the ball, giving the pusher a potential advantage if the heeling side, not realising their scrum halve is staggering around, heel the ball out quickly.
