[QUOTE="Mumbles119, post: 658579, member: 68434"] Playing a season at hooker has been great with the new rules. Less emphasis on a hit, and more emphasis on a scrum formation and a hook. Actually feels like its gone back to older amateur days of having to use technique and skill to hook and scrum, loving it as this is one thing I am good at (I am f***king terrible at throwing in) At a professional level, I completely agree with Oly. It is infinitely better, but the feeds is still being ignored. Also find it interesting that some games where teams just want to play total rugby, the scrums will just work, they just get on with it. However, in other games, teams seem to revert back to an over reliance on cheating or working the scrum for penalties, which the new rules seem to not allow for so much. This does make for long consistent periods of resets rather than give the cheap penalty as before. Short version - scrum within the laws and rugby happens, try to cheat the scrum and no rugby happens. [/QUOTE]
