[QUOTE="Scotty, post: 1055828, member: 74100"] Ill start by saying im not really for all this rule changing and constantly playing with the rules, partly because it leaves casual rugby fans in the dark and partly because we just dont need to play around with it...so dont bite my head off im just curious what people think. So Eggchasers podcast had JP Doyle the Irish ref on there this week and when asked about knock ons he suggested if a knock on occurs then its a Penalty to the opposition if the offending team picks up the ball, much like knocking on into your own player who plays the ball rule. The benefit would be if a ball is lost it's the opposition that gets the ball every time and can counter attack. As it stands if the ball is lost forward a player from the offending team dives on it, play stop and we have a scrum. (Obv a forward pass is different and not subjected to the penalty rule so scrums are mostly forward passes while reducing knock on scrums) Same advantage rule Reduced scrums More oppotunities for coubter attack More flowing rugby.
