Firstly I would say that if the props do not want the scrum to go down then it won't (at top level on good pitch)!
Second, if the TH was penalised every time he put his hand on the LH arm he would soon stop it!
Third, if the LH does not have TH hand on his arm then he has no excuse not to punch a straight left arm bind - penalise if he doesn't.
Props are taking the proverbial and refs are not getting support to clamp down.
Never thought I would say it, but the scrums in RL are now starting to look more attractive!
