[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 747393, member: 70552"] I read in the Sunday Times where they interviewed John Jefferey of World Rugby that they have now told the referees that scrum halves at this RWC can have their left shoulder in line with mark and can then feed the ball into the tunnel closer to their hooker. It boils down to the fear that hookers are afraid to lift their leg to hook the ball, because they think it'll then be 8 v 7 shove and they don't want the ball to get stuck in the tunnel, with hookers not hooking the ball. It makes a mockery of the rule that it has to be fed in the middle of the tunnel and allow a contest for the ball. At the end of the day, the hooker should not fear having to lift his leg, as there shouldn't be any pushing until the ball is fed into the tunnel. [/QUOTE]
