I have always wondered why, if a loosehead's knee touches the ground in a scrum, it is a penalty. I would love to understand the logic around its existence as a law in the game
@jimhamilton4@YouTube In my opinion, scrums have been over-refereed.On many occasions, the ball is at the no. 8s feet and the scrum has gone down.A reset takes place or a penalty is awarded when it’s not clear what caused the collapse. Move the ball away. Unless clearly moving forward..
Saddened to learn the news of Tom's passing, I grew up admiring Tom’s performances for Scotland and the Lions.
When Tom came to Edinburgh as a coach, I wanted to learn all I could from him; my biggest learnings from Tom was the hard work and preparation required in rugby.
RIP Tom
