[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 381281, member: 13611"] I like the new rule whereby if a team runs out of frontrowers, it goes to uncontested scrums but they can't replace a frontrower with another player ie they're down to 14 men. What I don't like is that the other team can replace a frontrower with another player. An example of this is during the u20 6 Nations. Ireland saw their tighthead and replacement tighthead go off injured/"injured". They weren't allowed replace their backup tighthead and went down to 14 men. That's the correct penalty since it negates fake injuries when a scrum is being battered like Ireland's was that day. However France were able to take off a frontrow voluntarily and replace him with a backrow for uncontested scrums after Ireland were down to 14 men already. [/QUOTE]
