Interesting comment from our head of referees last night.
Uncontested scrums are 8V8. This is irrespective of hoew mant you start in the scrum with or had in the scrum before they went uncontested.
So, even if we have this scenario:
Side has used all replacements and flanker goes off injured (14 V 15 and scrum 7 v 8 ) Now lets sayTHP is binned Side is dow to 13 V 15 BUT the scrums must be 8 V 8 (and the backs 5 v 7!!).
I don't like it but that is our directive in Wales.
