[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1102908, member: 72977"] I think one reason it feels slower is the TMO. While ball might be in play longer, the clock gets stopped more often and for longer. I'd like to see a comparison of how long games are including stoppages now with past games. It might provide an explanation. As for scrums I've said for a while if the scrum is stable or not collapsed for 3-5 seconds the maximum that can be awarded is a free kick. This gives incentive to the weaker scrum to scrummage properly knowing if they do all they give away is a free kick. It also encourages the stronger scrum not to keep the ball in too long as they can't win a penalty. Penalties should only be for immediate collapses and wheeling the scrum on purpose. [/QUOTE]
