Push comes to shove for scrums
For the second year in a row, the Six Nations was blighted by the increasing amount of time required to have completed scrums with the amount of resets now a blight on the game.
The scrum is an integral part of the game. When executed properly, as England did against Ireland last month, it is an art form that forces the opposition to address their problems, not by tweaking the laws in order to have a meaningless ritual — like in rugby league — but a full on physical contest for possession.
