[QUOTE="Dizzy, post: 451214, member: 21905"] Look, I'm not saying we have the best either. I don't even know where all this scrummaging debate came from, All I know is, our scrum has been talked down a bit too much for my liking and our scrum/scrumaggers deserve as much praise "post-match" as what other teams are being given "pre-match" We[NZ posters] don't just come out pre-match and be like "Oh, Franks is going to turn so-and-so into an oblivion with his supreme scrummaging, when he first played for the Crusaders he won a tight head scrum all on his own, so [insert your country here] have no chance against him" Then when it doesn't happen we don't come out like "Oh, we didn't have our best hooker and other prop on the field so you didn't face a full strength front row, you won't do well against [insert another country here]" Look, I'm not saying we have the best either.
