theres a big thing in our papers in wales today that scrums should be phased out due to injuiries that can sometime be caused. as a former prop who plays occasionally i think it would bring the game much like league but wonder what others thought ?

 

I think its a joke

Next they will want to stop punches in Boxing!

Rugby is Rugby! Not bloody football

 

agreed mate

they have even done a weight comparison of the front 8 in the western mail today in the 80s compared to today and it was found that today the scrum is more than 20stone heavier

 

scrums are only dangerous when cunts collapse them on purpose or they take the piss by biting etc on the front row!
and the people who spin scrums ALL the time did my fucking tits in!!!!
i played 2nd row btw,scrums are a good thing!

 

i use to play loose head and loved watching the face of the opposing tight head


as he grimaced as the ref called another scrum



after i had destroyed him


wish i carried on playing but full of injuries now

 

this is true mate you do suffer lots of injuries and i played regularly for my local club team since 21 but with all the knocks my lack of fitness and the belly "growth" i mostly just watch from the sidelines now.
