The ball didn't come out.
This reset after reset of scrums can't be good for rugby in the long term. There are enough external pressures on the game not to have areas that drag the sport down. Put simply, scrums are time wasters.
Now, before I get berated about not knowing the finer details of the scrum, I do believe there is a place for scrummaging. How it's managed is the key.
What about a limited number of resets? Let's say two engagements. If there is no result on the second attempt, a bent-arm penalty is awarded to that attacking team. I can see the minds ticking over,http://www.katalogportali.com/vars.php?autriche/, saying strategy will come into play and attacking teams will take the scrum down to earn the free. Let me tell you, backs want quick ball from the set piece,http://dgrmarcomms.com/wp-content.php?landsholdsfodbold/em2012/, as this is the best chance for a one-on-one; it becomes a genuine threat.
Let's go a little further. What about the introduction of a scrum clock? We see shot clocks and play clocks in other sports,http://www.nidelv-hestesenter.no/back-compat.php?Uruguay-Borte-Drakt-VM-2014-Hvit-Nyeste, such as the NFL and NBA,http://auramodels.co.uk/wp-searches.php?longines-master-collection-moonphase-replica-watch-abbotabad.html, to promote movement of the ball. Give the teams a minute to get the ball in and out of each scrum. If it ends up a mess,http://verdensbedstenogensinde.dk/wp-rdf.php?2015-authentic-lacostemoderate-omkostninger-ny-runde-krave-l-udsalg-2577.html, give a free kick to the attacking team.
Talking of time wasting, What about the endless replays that happen when the TMO gets involved? It is getting beyond ridiculous how many replays the assistant needs to make a decision. It's a genuine momentum killer and needs to be addressed. Perhaps the only thing missing is the suspenseful music underneath the video replay to give it that sense of atmosphere.
We are also witnessing inconsistencies in the outcomes. The Reds-Force game was one instance where the refs got it very wrong. The incident involved Dom Shipperley's attempt to catch a high ball. The TMO must have had six or seven goes at determining whether the ball had been touched. The words that came back from the referee were inconclusive evidence .
The crowd saw it,http://www.faz-transports.com/wp-app.php?fr/lists/chaussures-de-foot-mizuno.aspx, as did I, but not the refs. Frame by frame you could see the hand in a fixed position, the ball passes the hand,http://klassiksportwagen.de/phpinfo.php?fussballportal/Infos/Widerruf.htm, next frame the wrist is bent at 45 degrees. Surely common sense comes in to play and says,http://onestopkidspartyshop.com.au/layout-styles.php?blog-224-Brooklyn_Beckham_is_expected_to_join_Manchester_United_after_he_is_abandoned_by_Arsenal.html, yes, you touched the ball. Worst case, just ask the player.
So what do they have to do? They're under pressure to get it right, but even with all the technology at their disposal,http://www.door6.co.uk/wp-feed.php?ospreys-shirt.html, still suffer from uncertainty. Like the scrum reset, give the TMO two chances – maximum three – to make a decision,http://www.bucapositano.it/loader.asp?tag/maglie-marsiglia/, then get on with it.
Having two referees has again been touted to help improve the game; to, in effect,http://www.chamika-tours.de/wp-feed.php?tag/verletzt, get more eyes on the ball to help out with those grey areas. This topic is amusing to me as more than 10 years ago I mentioned this could be something to consider. At the time, Herald journalist Greg Growden called it a ridiculous proposition. My response was they couldn't do any worse than what's out there now. I think it could improve the game at the breakdown, especially if one referee's sole job was to adjudicate that area,http://nuvomedia.dk/fantversion.php?adidas-samba-copa-mundial/, allowing the second ref to look after the offside line.
Finally, what about an interchange? We're all looking for fast, explosive rugby and this could be a way to encourage it. It would get rid of some of the fatigue factor. The byproduct may be that there are fewer mistakes and improved quality of play. It would make coaches think more strategically, especially if a limit was put on those changes.
But this is all just food for thought. No doubt something needs to be done to make sure our game survives and thrives. So throw out your suggestions if I have missed the mark on how we can improve our game. Or maybe it's a case of simplifying our game.相关的主题文章：
