[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 985339, member: 72520"] Scrums definitely aren’t 100% mental, otherwise pro props wouldn’t waste all of that time in the gym; but I get that that was hyperbole. I don’t think that you’ve actually argued against the point though; I said that scrums aren’t much to do with morale, you’ve said that they are to do with mental aspects like timing and being together as a unit. They don’t really tie into morale. Those are things that international teams practice hundreds of times over the week before a game until they get that process right; I’m arguing that come game day, that process is either good enough to overcome the other team’s or it isn’t.
