[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 556890, member: 67273"] No doubt the hit definitely isn't as stable as the old-school engage. But I think the main issue is the change in mentality as to what the scrum is for, if you could encourage teams to think of it as a way of setting up a backs move from a restart instead of an opportunity to make the oppo concede penalty, and also revert to proper feeding/hooking then 90% of the issues would be sorted. Mainly because they would have to be more conservative in their initial hit for the hookers sake, and because there is an actual chance to win the ball against the head if they stay up. Not romp all over him, I certainly don't think you would have to be so concerned over our competitiveness in that area were we to have at least one good scrummaging lock though. [/QUOTE]
