Why do you have a scrum if ball goes out on full at kick-off?

[QUOTE="Johnny Storm, post: 1034832, member: 80747"] In that case, why not start each half with a scrum? It's weird. EDIT: Maybe that's how it was done in early rugby, and the kick-off was introduced to add more speed and dynamics to the beginning of the half? However, if you get it wrong, then it's back to the old basics with a scrum. That would make sense actually. A scrum was the start of a half, the kick-off was later introduced, but the scrum start was never rescinded from rules, so that is why only a kick-off into touch can result in a scrum?. The options of a lineout or retake the kick were recently introduced, that is why older players can only remember the scrum being given in the past. [/QUOTE]
