@anonymous Stupid rule, btw. Should be allowed to have 15 players on the park.
Nah, great rule because you made the scrums go uncontested. Otherwise if you are getting done in the scrums you take off both hookers and get a huge advantage.
-
@antipodean They didn't elect it. They lost two hookers to injury and then the rules say uncontested scrums, because there isn't a hooker on the field. It wasn't a tactical decision.
-
@stargazer Yeah, but the rule has to be this way cause the officials can't tell if it's because of injury or "injury".
@anonymous Nonsense.
-
@hydro11 I repeat, it wasn't a choice. It wasn't a tactical decision. Both hookers got injured.

Yes but history tells us that if rules can be exploited, they will be. It's like with Pocock and the quick conversion means you can't go to the TMO.

Immaterial. You can fake injuries.
-
What a cracking try. Brilliant run by Nanai.
-
Great try.
Canterbury got their extra time try because of uncontested scrums, so yeah 14 is right imo
Ooh three more points AKL?

@antipodean You can solve that by letting the team with the two injuries play with 14 men during the scrum, and then allowing a fifteenth player on after the next stoppage.
