[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 901375, member: 40658"] Well that's a whole debate on its own. Some teams pick props who are a bit weaker at scrums, but are great in every other facet of the game, while others pick props purely for their scrummaging power. The issue is that props are specialist positions, and by being "weaker" as you say, they are maybe not intentionally, slowing down the game and preventing the game to flow, the Onus is on them, and that is why they get penalised, but my issue is that in this specific game, the Highlanders were repeatedly punished for "popping up", and that is something the props do electively, they chose to do that, because the power is too much for them to fight it out. That to me is a professional foul, and should get a yellow. [/QUOTE]
