Brian Moore’s Thoughts on the Scrum

Whilst trawling the web last week I found this piece which I thought might be of interest, in which Brian Moore proposes a series of ideas to have scrums refereed properly.

http://www.rugbyrefs.com/content.php?151-Scrum
(note: contains much technical scrummaging chat)

It’s well worth a read, and we would of course be interested in what any of you thought about how the scrum could be improved/fixed/left as it is… comments below as usual.

  1. The Telegraph has a report about a submission to the IRB by Mike Burton, Fran Cotton and Ray McLoughlin http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/rugby-world-cup/8834455/Fran-Cotton-Mike-Burton-and-Ray-McLoughlin-submit-paper-to-IRB-calling-for-scrummaging-law-changes.html but Brian Moore is not wholeheartedly in agreement! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/rugby-world-cup/8836744/Brian-Moore-Push-comes-to-shove-in-rugby-unions-scrummaging-laws.html
