[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 803673, member: 12207"] I'd argue that this attitude is really most prevelant in NZ and Australia, with South Africa and Argentina still being fairly obsessive over their scrums. That said, NZ manage this balance far better than Australia and frankly everyone else by a fair margin. In my view though the scrum is overly emphasised in general and frankly in the post match wash up you often see closer analysis show a lot of scrum infringements to be wrongly called by the referees, and so I personally think unless its on the 5 metre line scrum infringements should only be given as free kicks.
