@One2November@rugbyphilosophy Collapsing the scrum is not the same as being pushed off the ball.
Collapsing the scrum is almost entirely a front row thing.
When the scrum disintegrates going backwards it’s usually the locks going down first. Alternatively it’s the front row being lifted by the dominant team
@MichaelRobert@rugbyphilosophy Firstly, it’s not my team.
2nd, touch rugby has no scrum. I’m saying let the scrum dominate then get the ball out. how is that remotely touch rugby.
Take your eye patch off and have a think about it from neutral ground.
@Ralph_MUFC@rugbyphilosophy Symantecs.
Ireland were going backwards fast, as a result they collapsed. Hence penalty awarded.
Forwards tripping over their feet while being pushed backwards is not something worthy of a penalty.
At best it’s a free kick.
Penalties should always have an element of intent.
@AnalystGus You’re forgetting the Foul Play Official, whose entire existence depends on how many red card he can dish out.
While this sort of shit is happening the game is f#*+ed.
@JamieWall2 What even is the Foul Play Officer.
Seemed to jump into the Cody situation but was glaringly missing for any England issues.
The Pollock obstruction of ALB is another example
@brettruganalyst Who the f*#k would know. Could be any of a dozen offences
This is everything that is wrong with the game and why it will never get a hold in US.
@terrymckain1 Oh help me out. How many drums and megaphones were outside Jacinda’s place? How many windows did Doyle have broken?
Oh that’s right, zero
