[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 578382, member: 48703"] Adam was on top last year (with a weaker scrummmager at loosehead in Gethin Jenkins). But a mixture of things limited it's effect. Notably in one test there was hardly a scrum and barely any with Wales' put in. There were also occasions where Wales were going forward massively but the referee was not giving penalties and the scrum was reset, many referees would have given a penalty for standing up here, but Joubert didn't.

I remember him mucking up a scrum going forward with an awful piece of play. So with lack of scrums/referees/Phillips, the advantage wasn't as much as hoped.
