[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1102868, member: 45598"] Going down a very dangerous road if we reduce scrum penalties to free kicks, where's the incentive for the weaker scrum to stay up? Same with alterations to cards and TMO input. Some refs/TMOs are overzealous with their use of video replay but I think that's more of a case of them being bad at their job than a rules issue. I think making being a rugby referee an actually desirable profession rather than a side hustle is the way to go. Soccer referees are fully professional and far far better, most if not all rugby refs need to supplement their income quite considerably. Better remuneration and unified coaching for refs would go a long long way to bettering the game rather than tinkering with laws further. [/QUOTE]
