Graphically it would be virtually impossible to replicate a real ruck, there are bodies everywhere, every ruck looks different, i doubt you can incorporate sporting animations with the rag doll physics that you see in other games, which is what we would need.At the end of the day, we need something that nods its head towards reality in terms of ball retention/stealing whilst remaining fair.  Personally I think the Jonah Lomu system still holds good. With good animations, a stealing mechanism (whether a time limit for 1st person in or a mini game) , and then weight, momentum and numbers determining the speed of ball retrieval.</blockquote>
