IMHO The drafting is slightly ambiguous as it doesn’t say similarly reduced by comparison to what ...

The numbers in “each team in the scrum must be similarly reduced” could equally mean that if the YC causes one team to have less in the scrum the other team must similarly reduce their pack.

I really don’t fancy telling a team they must reduce their scrum because a winger got YC - so I am probably going to take the above interpretation

The question is. They specifically changed the word from MAY be reduced to MUST he reduced.

What else could they have meant by it

interesting thread. So in addition to a smuggled one in, they havent quite done what they previously announced (As I just discovered to my slightly red face)

You'll remember that they'd announced the new "dont drop a team mate" FK last year as a "new 9.19" and then renumber the ones after that up a number. What they've actually done is just added it to the end of the list so it's new law 9.26.

(Happy New Year everyone!)
