[QUOTE="William Fenn, post: 979254, member: 81920"] The world cup final was governed by the ability to get a penalty at almost every scrum using brute force! The current rule whereby going down, up, backwards or wheeling along with blatant feeding has ruined scrums and for what? Safety? ********! The other thing I believe should be looked at is pads. Players are hiding behind shields so they can commit body tackles they wouldn't risk without so we see more high chest and enevitably neck tackles and the big men that come out with forearms bound up to the elbows! What's that all about other than being able to chin someone either as you tackle them or fending off tackles when carrying! Like the world, rugby needs to go backwards to move forwards! [/QUOTE]
