[QUOTE="Plumba, post: 1119447, member: 86435"] As someone who played for 25 years, and watches games avidly now I cannot keep quiet any longer. Our sport is in a bad way, and in my opinion changes must be made. My wishlist is simple, change the laws to force scrum halves to put the ball into the hookers, not simply thread it directly through the legs of the props. Then, outlaw this ludicrous assisted lifting in line outs, absolutely no need for it and it used to be an offence. Next, discipline in line outs, straight lines and none of this dancing about we get now. Tackles to be only made below waist height, taking the man down but allowing the game to flow through offloads, not allowing these ridiculous suffocating wrap around efforts we see now. A fifteen second time limit for all place kicks. And stop the clock when scrums are being set until the ball goes in. Ours is the best and most entertaining sport around but it is slowly degenerating and needs urgent attention. [/QUOTE]
