[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 985295, member: 56738"] I suppose my point is that off of the back of the World Cup final... reading between the lines in the English threads, I’m getting that some of/most of you guys think your scrum isn’t good enough and measures need to be taken to improve it, as at some point you’ll be coming up against that SA scrum again. Now all teams should always look to improve but my point is that I reckon it was maybe just a one-off. My reasoning for this is that you guys would have no worries and even assume far more than parity going up against the Welsh scrum... but in turn our scrum was pretty bloody good against the Boks, even when we changed our front row (young guys not known for their scrummaging). We actually scored off of ‘choosing’ to reset the scrum instead of taking the penalty during the second half. I’d actually put England’s scrum up there with Ireland’s as probably the joint second best in world rugby behind the Boks... so it’s not as doom and gloom as you think. edit. We actually struggled with the Aussie scrum more than the Boks come to think of it. [/QUOTE]
