Dip and Pick at scrum

[FlipFlop]

2nd row doesn't need to drive up. But as his shoulders must be above his hips, there is an upwards angle....

If the 2nd row stays still, and the opposite prop drives forward, if the prop can't take the pressure, he bends. Try it with a bit of card against the wall if you don't believe it.

If the prop can't take the pressure, the 2nd row can (and should) go backwards, to protect his prop.

Last World Cup - NZ vs. Canada - ALL Blacks lifted the entire Canadian front row off the ground directly in front of the ref and no call.

That's what you get when you're Tier 2.

It's here after about 20mins- home made but not bad quality

Looks like Poite??

Shape matters alright.....but not the shape of the person, rather the shape that person gets their body into in the scrum.

I'm 6' 5" and have scrummaged reasonably well (so I'm told)!

Am coaching youths and getting 17 year olds to be aware of their 'shape' in the scrum is almost impossible!!
