[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1093743, member: 73144"] It certainly happened when I was playing as did deliberately lifting. It’s always been part of the game, even if everyone denies doing it, and I’ve certainly read about professionals taking it down when they haven’t got the engagement right so they can reset. Maybe these days it’s more often that players are getting into positions where they increase the likelihood of a collapse more than outright intent. But to an extent, it doesn’t really matter. We can agree that we see way too many collapsed scrums and that it’s next level dangerous. If the number of collapses we see is unavoidable (which I don’t believe for a minute) then it’s fundamentally broken and we might as well go RL style. However implemented a collapsed scrum should be made as unacceptable, and rare, as head contact or playing the main in the air. Or are we waiting for a top class international to get maimed before doing anything? [/QUOTE]
