[QUOTE="HansNZ, post: 835423, member: 74785"] Hi Duncab, if you look at my initial question you will see that I mentioned I am unfamiliar with this subject. My question is not an attempt to troll or be controversial as I am not well informed enough to know what is controversial or not. I simply have a very limited understanding of rugby. I can tell that the scrum seems to have more importance in the game than I understand or that my google searches were telling me. The answers given in this thread are exactly what I was looking for. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I suppose the winning penalties issue is more about tactics and perhaps playing the ref? I am also curious whether it has been seriously considered having the ref put the ball into the scrum to avoid the no.9 feeding it to his side? (As he seems to when you watch matches on TV). Might this create a better contest for the ball or is there a reason for not doing it this way? [/QUOTE]
