Taken from a Society Facebook discussion:
In the early part of the game Red see better in the scrums and start to dominate. Red interchange both props and then Blue come back into the scrum and push Red back a few yards and win a turnover. A couple of mins later Blue are awarded a PK on the attacking 5m line. They opt for a scrum. Red then interchange both props again and win the resulting scrum. So question is....
A) should I have allowed the interchange?
B) because it was from a PK option, does that differ from a normal scrum?
Thoughts? With justification in Law?
'HQ' have provided the answer for England, but that would spoil the fun ...
