I would have liked to see something done about the "Sinfield" i.e. hoofing the ball over the opponent's dead ball from miles away leaving them with a tap on their 20. I think there should be a maximum distance between where a ball is kicked dead from and the point where play restarts. so for instance if you kick it dead from more than 40 metres out the restart is moved forward a metre for every metre beyond the 40 that it was kicked from. So if you kick dead from 50 metres the restart is on the 30 and so on.

I suspect it's down to teams holding the ball in the scrum deliberately to try and catch the defending team offside. Seems to be a new thing this year.
