Quote ="The Observer"The other way is to return to competitive scrums. This would create a game of different shapes and sizes as props & second rowers would have to bulk up to push in the scrum (but be mobile, like Carl Webb or Keiron Cunningham). That would create a more varied and create game where little men could use skills to exploit gaps without merely running one out from dummyhalf. Benches would need cover for forwards, backs and playmakers.'"
Yeah, and we could maybe have 15 players on the pitch, to get more people involved, maybe reward good kicking with some way to compete for the ball when kicked in touch. What would be even better would be a mass of rules that the punters know nothing about, so that the ref can make about six calls and then award a penalty every few minutes - since there'll be more penalties we should increase their value to 3pts...
