Scrum sequence change coming?

[Adam]

My experience with everything is that if you change a system (irrespective if it's better or worse) it takes about 18 months for it to fully settle down.

For the many scrum non-specialists like myself I think it's best to keep it simple & there-by safe.

L'irlandais, can I ask how did you find that video section? I assume that somewhere there is a video section for all law sections. I've checked every page of the IRB site and I can't find it, but I can't be the only one who finds the IRB site far too cluttered.

Hold your mouse over the link and look in the bottom left corner of your screen, you will see the URL (address).

Appears to be Laws/During the match/scrum/front row players positions

Following an enlightening evening with BCM666 I now brief front rows and the #9 to the effect that long arm binding is a must, the scrum will be stock still before the ball comes in which it will, straight. If you enforce these three points then everything works and I honestly believe that the teams that I have refereed this way are a lot happier.

There is an image link in the middle of the home page, between "Player Welfare" and RSSChannels"

Or this will take you there directly

There is a conflict between Law 20.1 (j) ... must be stationary ... and Law 20.5 ... the scrum half must feed the ball in without delay. ...

You are taking the sensible route (20.1 (j) ) whereas at elite level they prefer 20.5 and then get the expected consequences.
