Bill - I agree, and perhaps they should also be asked to choose replacements from the stands instead of the bench !!!

Say no to uncontested scrums!!!!!!!
I hate them with a passion, and any team that forces them are cowards and charlatans!
The number of subs could be increased by one, and two have to be specialised props and one a hooker. This would hopefully nullify the un*******ed scrum. Yuk (now need to rinse my mouth out with battery acid and wash for a week for mentioning the words)

Before we get too 'holier than thou' about this on the Tigers' forum, remember that England forced uncontested scrums against Australia as a result of White and Rowntree being injured ! Could just as easily happen (to us) in the GP.
I have always thought the answer (fairly) clear. The team able to field a full scrum has the option of calling a line out (their throw in) or a free kick, instead of a scrum. The scrum is ultimately just a restart, so give the option os an alternative restart that affords some advantage.
