[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 809631, member: 40658"] True, But the Lions showed that dominance at the scrum plays a massive role in winning their matches. Against both the Crusaders and Highlanders the past 2 weeks. Getting scrum penalties and taking the points helps in the accumulation and inevitably getting an unassailable lead. On Defence it also helps, as an example I'll use this past weekend's match between the Lions and Highlanders, when Dixon knocked the ball on when attempting to score a try, the Lions got a 5m scrum, and they pushed the Highlanders back, Ackermann picked up the ball at the back, and had a good run to give Elton enough space to kick it downfield and win a lot of territory.
