[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 1083563, member: 45355"] i actually think old school rucking would fix a few things, obvious not the head but a few tag marks on the back got people out of the ruck just fine and didn't result in penalties and breaks in play etc I didn't actually say anything about going soft, its the breaks in play and the ever growing list of reasons to penalise people thats getting old. im not saying people should head butt people...just that accidents happen...even if he was trying to avoid he may just have misjudged...and i dont like the idea a team might lose a game for a straight up mistake. The same reason i dont like most scrum penalties, you can now be straight up out powered...so you're only failing is not being strong enough...and you can get carded and penalised...nothing to do with being soft or anything like that...it just feels like more and more aspects of the game are about being punitive [/QUOTE]
