[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 826573, member: 20605"] Good! I expect the team that[B] wins the scrum[/B] to have that advantage as a reward for[B] winning the scrum[/B]! This has been happening for at least 40 years! And really, think about what you are asking for. Do you want to hamstring the scrum half of the team that [B]won the ball at the scrum[/B] so that you can create another scrap for the ball just behind the scrum that will inevitably lead to another scrum? Personally, I would like to see the non-ball winning scrumhalf be not allowed to advance beyond the centreline of the scrum the way they used to do it in Under 19s. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] 1. The scrum is not supposed to be a means of generating/winning penalties, it is supposed to be a way to restart the game; it even states that in the Laws of the Game. 2. If you don't want a call of "use-it" to be made, you have to keep your scrum moving forwards; if your scrum is not good enough to do that, then you have to play it. I think that is perfectly fair 3. Most of use want to watch a game of rugby. If you want to watch scrummaging contest, go watch scrum practice at training. [/QUOTE]
