[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1001286, member: 73144"] Scrums do go down because players slip etc, but at the top level I’m sure that front rows are coached to drop the scrum if they don’t get the engagement right. There’s no other explanation and it’s clear, bloody dangerous, foul play. All the arsing around with the pre engagement protocols really doesn’t help though. A quick bind say 5 seconds from starting to cuddle the hooker to engagement with opposition and then put in within a further 3 seconds is achievable. Putting the ball in straight would really help too - if you make a proper contest for the ball, skill will come back into play. Not just the hooker striking on their ball and having a chance on opposition ball, but the props will also have a slightly different mindset as they will need to help their hooker more rather than just concentrate on shoving. It makes me cry when I see how anal refs are on certain aspects of play while allowing RL style feeds. [/QUOTE]
