[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 709710, member: 58362"] I can see a lot of sense in this, playing devil's advocate here.....doesn't it hand too much advantage to the defending side? Anywhere further than say 40 years out, surely teams would surrender the 5 years in return for having their back row not worrying about scrummaging just about being on their opposition as soon as the ball leaves the scrum? It's a while since I've been in a scrum so I stand to be corrected, but is it possible to go from hurtling forwards at a rate of knots to static in order to avoid exceeding the pushing limit? What's to stop the defending side taking a step back to try and con a penalty out of the referee? [/QUOTE]
