[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 1165673, member: 73648"] Agree about coaching, it should be preventing infractions instead of talking teams out of penalties that already occurred. If a team has slowed the ball down they’ve accomplished their goal. Talk to teams about whether a ruck is still formed but not whether they need to let go. I feel like TMO was fine a couple years ago but got worse as they started to tinker with it. They made an okay process a bad one. Use it should be a preemptive not a reactionary instruction. As soon as balls won at a contested breakdown the team should be told to use it and the time starts them. Do think people overstate how boring a long ruck is. Agree with Cruz on 7, line has to be drawn somewhere and any proposed solution just seems to make things more complicated. Turning all scrum penalties in to free kicks would just result in more scrums. 8 absolutely but that’s a policy thing. People would rather have “flow” and no penalties rather than require legal turnovers. 10 is so stupid it would kill the game. [/QUOTE]
