Iwould take one of your points further, and that is stopping the clock not just when the scrum is being set, but when the ball is out of play at lineouts and when kickers take forever to take a kick, including the time spent celebrating tries. It may require a rethink as to how long the game should take, but may encourage players to get on with things.

If it meant the demise of the chest-beaters then so beit. No more Munster killing the clock by making a scrum last 15mins. No more dodgy pens, and no more man-bun'd ¾'s running in to pat backs from 25yards away. The ball would be in play longer. The play would be faster. The game would be more entertaining and ultimately SAFER. Bring it on.

Exactly. There’s a reason that we love Union and those roars and behemoths like Beast, Os du Randt, Spicy Plum, Ox, John Smit et al. The scrum is integral and since Willemse’s call in that quarter-final, France have had sour grapes and then of course we knocked over England successively, ol’ Bill has been muttering down the corridors of Pembroke Street. Rugby is violent chess and we reward strategy and tact but also power and dominance, so teams quake in their boots against SA, Argentina and Georgia because they all have dominate scrums and can use that as an attacking platform. Let’s see it play out and the loopholes used around the scrum and deliberate fouls and watch the teams’ strategies adapt. I wonder what Doc Rassie has up his sleeve...

The scrum is a complete yawn. It can take five minutes or more out of game time and is often used as awayofwinningcheap penalties in a way that was never intended. The attacking side should have the option of reducing the scrum to two rows or one row, just like line outs. If the first scrum attempt does not succed the ref should have the option of reducing the number of rows as he sees fit. I'm fed up paying £90 to watch several resets of a scrum, and then it can happen time and again.

The scrum, as we have known it in recent times has been administered to become something it should never have been. Scrums are awarded as a result of a minor offence, however as a result of the unique unspoken games that props play between themselves, what has developed has been obscure awards for penalties, which can effect the results of the games. This does seem to be an unbalanced consequence to a slight forward pass. Thinking back to scrums at school boy level, they just got together, stooped down, ball down the middle, hook and shove. Back rows break away as quick as possible to nail the 10. It didn’t take too long, and a couple of resets were all that was ever needed. Looking at Genge, as to how his game is developing in recent times, that is interesting and better for the game as a whole. Union over League every time, however Union has been shooting itself in the foot with recent attempts to ‘improve’ the game. Perhaps if props spent their time pre match having arm wrestling matches in the bar, then that would get that part out of their system, and then we could all watch a good game of rugby afterwards?

The other point people forget about making RL faster and faster is that not only did the body shapes become uniform, but it decimated participation from vets, over-35s etc. Simply got too fast. The knock on was those players dropped out early and fewer got diverted to coaching or reffing in later life. And that knocked on into youth teams......Which is why RL has such low player nos in the UK. Let us hope RU learns the lesson from RL's mistakes.

When you limit and eventually take scrums out of rugby, you have league rugby. I would suggest they rather apply the rules...like enforcing straight feed in the middle of a scrum to ensure teams actually have the opportunity to compete for the ball at scrums and line-outs, ensuring players are behind the kicker, especially at re-starts etc. And consider stopping the time when the ball is not in play, like with line-outs or scrum sets...will stop teams from wasting time by causing scrums to collapse etc. The team with the ball in hand should be given the advantage, more than the team defending (that could help limit all the kicking and the mindset to give the ball to the other team and then put pressure and hope they make a mistake), and it would commit more forwards to rucks and mauls and allow more space for backlines to create moves. And maybe line-outs should have all the forwards in it to ensure space for backlines on attack... Anyway, just a few thoughts...

About time this change was made. Scrums are now ridiculous. Watch the game from even 25 years ago when the scrums were over before the current teams even get to the mark. If we continue with scrum options perhaps we should again insist that a Goal i.e. a converted try has to be scored to be able to win a game. Current scrum laws make the game very boring most of the time when it can take a long time to get a scrum completed. A quick free kick will obviate the worry about a fully set up defence being in place.

As a prop who played in the 1990s, I find the modern scrum a joke. It has become a means of conning the ref into awarding a penalty. It is impossible to win a ball against the head.

The modern scrum is a debasement of the traditional set piece.

Totally agree with the points you make here. Iwould take one of your points further, and that is stopping the clock not just when the scrum is being set, but when the ball is out of play at lineouts and when kickers take forever to take a kick, including the time spent celebrating tries. It may require a rethink as to how long the game should take, but may encourage players to get on with things.

This ruling is stupid. The last World Cup had several fantastic edge of the seat games. If SA is dominating stop crying and learn how to beat them. Scrumming has always been the Boks super power, but history shows other sides still beat them. Looks to me like it’s NH crybaby antics. Changing rules to win won’t work.

@@geoffhughes225 thanks. Idea is though scrum set takes time if added to game time There's more time for running the ball. Games will be a bit longer which well if we love the game an extra 10 - 15 mins would be a treat That's the idea I think better than beginning the demise of scrummaging.
If we want to get the scrum back to being exited it is easy. Apply the rules put the ball in the center and straight. The drum will then be a contest you have to scrum higher and then punish the loos head if his side goes down and the tight head if it goes up
Am all for this, in fact I'd ditch scrums all together. Let's face it, the modern prop, (the most penalised player on the paddock), can barely seeout 50mins of the 80 before being hooked and replaced by another neckless wonder. If it meant the demise of the chest-beaters then so beit. No more Munster killing the clock by making a scrum last 15mins. No more dodgy pens, and no more man-bun'd ¾'s running in to pat backs from 25yards away. The ball would be in play longer. The play would be faster. The game would be more entertaining and ultimately SAFER. Bring it on.
That is why I love AFL. Fast game, non stop, with a rucking (with an r) component.
Exactly. There’s a reason that we love Union and those roars and behemoths like Beast, Os du Randt, Spicy Plum, Ox, John Smit et al. The scrum is integral and since Willemse’s call in that quarter-final, France have had sour grapes and then of course we knocked over England successively, ol’ Bill has been muttering down the corridors of Pembroke Street. Rugby is violent chess and we reward strategy and tact but also power and dominance, so teams quake in their boots against SA, Argentina and Georgia because they all have dominate scrums and can use that as an attacking platform. Let’s see it play out and the loopholes used around the scrum and deliberate fouls and watch the teams’ strategies adapt. I wonder what Doc Rassie has up his sleeve...
I agree fully with You and NiIgel,,well said !!! ,,Think firstly!! Who is world rugby actually? and who influences them? Then you'll understand a different dimension of this change . When ever one team , normally the Springboks, finds a way to dominate some form of the game, wr develop this allergy against them and start developing antibiotics to counter. So who are the allergic ones? who leads and who follows?
i get the point of the rule. Its horrible having 10-20 mins eaten up by scrumming attempts and fails. Its just a poorly thought out rule. You could of just stopped the clock when scrums started. That way its not used for time wasting and for big lumbering forwards to get a rest. Speed it up thats what everyone wants. But dont get rid of the scrum.
The scrum is a complete yawn. It can take five minutes or more out of game time and is often used as awayofwinningcheap penalties in a way that was never intended. The attacking side should have the option of reducing the scrum to two rows or one row, just like line outs. If the first scrum attempt does not succed the ref should have the option of reducing the number of rows as he sees fit. I'm fed up paying £90 to watch several resets of a scrum, and then it can happen time and again.
I think World Rugby should put severe speed limits in F1. It's just too dangerous. Do it for the fans.
At least what WR could have done was to give this a trial at say junior, under 20 WC etc and then take it from there. Tweak it or abolish it.
The scrum, as we have known it in recent times has been administered to become something it should never have been. Scrums are awarded as a result of a minor offence, however as a result of the unique unspoken games that props play between themselves, what has developed has been obscure awards for penalties, which can effect the results of the games. This does seem to be an unbalanced consequence to a slight forward pass. Thinking back to scrums at school boy level, they just got together, stooped down, ball down the middle, hook and shove. Back rows break away as quick as possible to nail the 10. It didn’t take too long, and a couple of resets were all that was ever needed. Looking at Genge, as to how his game is developing in recent times, that is interesting and better for the game as a whole. Union over League every time, however Union has been shooting itself in the foot with recent attempts to ‘improve’ the game. Perhaps if props spent their time pre match having arm wrestling matches in the bar, then that would get that part out of their system, and then we could all watch a good game of rugby afterwards?

Actually Rugby League has Scrums and you can push.The ball may be feed in not straight, so it comes out very quickly and generally teams don't push. I understand in the NRL that they have experimented with a six again rule. This was scrapped in SuperLeague because it was very unpopular.

The other point people forget about making RL faster and faster is that not only did the body shapes become uniform, but it decimated participation from vets, over-35s etc. Simply got too fast. The knock on was those players dropped out early and fewer got diverted to coaching or reffing in later life. And that knocked on into youth teams......Which is why RL has such low player nos in the UK. Let us hope RU learns the lesson from RL's mistakes.
The problem addressed by the rule change was teams changing a free kick or a mark into a penalty. That’s why it’s a good change.
Agree Wholeheartedly with your opinion💪🏼👍🏼💪🏼
Absolutely agree with Nigel Owens. World rugby will in changing the scrum destroy the game.
Not to worry. The Springboks camp are on the Drawing board working for the way forward for a stronger Bomb squad. Always remember it's not only forward play that wins games for the Springboks. When they hear the name Rassie ! !! Panic are on the other sides camp.
totally agree and I hate these arguments between League and Union just watch what you prefer its not a contest about formats it's a love of the game
The best way to get people interested is to educate them . Sell the game, spend money and advertise it. The Americas are discovering rugby, Japan loves rugby...... Sell it. I hate this but sport is a business, treat it like one and sell, sell, sell. Sell it and people want to then know the intricacies of the sport and then appreciate the finer points. Don't change the game, change the fans, level up.
When you limit and eventually take scrums out of rugby, you have league rugby. I would suggest they rather apply the rules...like enforcing straight feed in the middle of a scrum to ensure teams actually have the opportunity to compete for the ball at scrums and line-outs, ensuring players are behind the kicker, especially at re-starts etc. And consider stopping the time when the ball is not in play, like with line-outs or scrum sets...will stop teams from wasting time by causing scrums to collapse etc. The team with the ball in hand should be given the advantage, more than the team defending (that could help limit all the kicking and the mindset to give the ball to the other team and then put pressure and hope they make a mistake), and it would commit more forwards to rucks and mauls and allow more space for backlines to create moves. And maybe line-outs should have all the forwards in it to ensure space for backlines on attack... Anyway, just a few thoughts...
mmm rugby league is pretty popular my dude.. i do agree its fucking up union.
if the law is going to be enacted a scrum option should be available from a free kick by the attacking side inside the 22. Many years ago off a free kick you would tap the ball , one pass, drop goal. We may see more of that. Next drop goals and penalties will drop back to 2 points.
About time this change was made. Scrums are now ridiculous. Watch the game from even 25 years ago when the scrums were over before the current teams even get to the mark. If we continue with scrum options perhaps we should again insist that a Goal i.e. a converted try has to be scored to be able to win a game. Current scrum laws make the game very boring most of the time when it can take a long time to get a scrum completed. A quick free kick will obviate the worry about a fully set up defence being in place.

And remember the high number of bias accusations and arguments that used to dominate rugby news? That’s what brought technology into the whole thing. So it’s catch 22.
Maybe it would be a good idea to stop giving penalties to the side with the stronger scrum. If they dominate the scrum they should win the ball and play with it. Instead, the stronger scrums just play for a penalty so that they can kick downfield for a lineout.
You have a scrum and behind the scrum is the backline. Get rid of the scrum and where do the forwards go? Well, they end up in the backline and that's and when you get rid of backline play
I am not in agreement with the rule but for a different reason. The games is for all shapes and sizes but since at the top level there are now eight available replacements forwards have become huge as most of the pack only has to play part of the game. Do away with the non-injury replacements and the forwards will have to trim down.
Can the scrum rule change be overturned or it is final indefinitely?
For some reason the sound on this video is messed up...
And it is not as if the top scrumn teams are necessary the heaviest players! It is an art and a specialist occupation!!
Good job saying it as it is 👍🏼
Thats really clever, so they want to take their chances against the Springbok backline
Surely there is a way around the scrum problem though? Just knock the ball on or pass it forward when your attack is not going anywhere. I'm surprised the Boks haven't resorted to that yet. Actually, we don't know that they haven't.

As a prop who played in the 1990s, I find the modern scrum a joke. It has become a means of conning the ref into awarding a penalty. It is impossible to win a ball against the head. I see penalties awarded when obviously the penalty should have gone the other way. The scrum has been part of the game since its inception. The modern scrum is a debasement of the traditional set piece.
Changing the offside line to the middle of the tunnel is baffling. Why? Surely it will suffocate backline play. As far as the laws on protecting the scrumhalf, why would you want to give him even more time to check for seagulls and draw a map of the surroundings? Make him get rid of the ball like a hot potato.
Scrums belong in rugby, but when last was there a game where the ball was thrown in straight? This us no longer policed. It used to be competitive but now there is never a turnover unless someone really stuffs thing up .
