@SteveMacAnRi @WayneBarnesRef The angles are important too, but not for the collapsing of scrums. Alignment, angles, feet, hips, back, building of pressure, hooking many things to talk about this topic but on collapsing the ones mentioned are the main ones I think.
@WayneBarnesRef ... so in general the process should be. 1) know your props you referee. 2) look at the legs and hinging once engage happens. 3) look at the general attitude from both props on how the scrum is going to look at who collapses or twists it's arms....
@WayneBarnesRef ... Get back into position hence they will only lock themselves and not go backwards, or else collapse. But one very important thing you are missing is the bind. The tight head which is under pressure will try to twist the arm or even the shoulder to make the loose head hinge...
@WayneBarnesRef Barnesy, good topic. Difficult as always to tell specially in the heat of a game and the 10 things you. Need to look at. Normally you have to study the trend of props before the game. The world Class props, the ones who want to scrum will do so regardless... (continues)
A beautiful story by Samuel, age 8, who was asked to write a superhero story. He wrote about his grandad who sadly passed away from MND last year. Thanks Samuel for raising awareness of MND! You're right, people fighting MND are heroes as are their families & carers ππ
