[QUOTE="Dirty Ape, post: 756374, member: 73216"] Some of the early matches were negatively affected by the TMO but since that first week I think things are much better. The delays we are seeing now are less to do with the TMO and more to do with scrum resets and some teams deliberately slowing things down, especially in the 2nd half. There is a balance to be had between the value of getting the right decisions and all of the costs associated with the TMO. I don't think we are a long way off getting the balance right. Scrums on the other hand are the biggest blight on our game at the moment. If there was an easy fix I think it would have been found by now. Maybe there is a more nuanced combination of fixes that can get the balance between contest, spectacle and safety just right but I have my doubts. [/QUOTE]
