Kiss wants law changes to end scrum shambles

Ireland assistant coach Les Kiss wants rugby’s decision makers to finally address the “blight” on the gamefollowing Leinster and Munster’s scrum fiasco on Saturday.

The provincial giants’ joust in Thomond Park was starved of meaningful action after a succession of collapsed scrums slowed the pace of the game. Munster manager Anthony Foley labelled it the “current cancer for the game” in his post-match interview and Kiss agreed it must become more attractive.

“I think when we played Scotland, there was 20 minutes of scrums and repacks, that’s phenomenal in a game,” he said on Setanta Sports’ iTalkSport yesterday.
