[QUOTE="Rinkadink, post: 1165795, member: 74190"] I don't think marginally forward passes are a blight on the game, in fact if we want more running rugby we should probably relax policing this area... I think if it's not clear and obviously forward requiring multiple camera angles that are often contradictory in their nature, then it's not forward. I wouldn't change penalties around scrums but what I would do is absolutely add a rugby league style time off and on for the match clock. Many sides want to waste time when it's advantageous for them to do so, such as defending a lead or managing a card period or wish to disrupt an opponent or whatever, if you reduce the benefits of doing this sides should hopefully do it less. This also results in more ball in play time requiring higher fitness levels and altered conditioning for it. In general I'd stop the clock as consistently and often as possible to promote actual ball in play time. [/QUOTE]
