Manalien, yes your article seems to have hit some raw nerves, unfortunately not too much constructive debate has resulted, more of ‘go away you don’t know what you’re talking about’.

IMO there has to be changes to the scrum laws, it has become a platform not to restart the game but a place to win penalties, Brian Moore posted a good article on the modern scrum, worth a read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21952652

I thought the Wallabies played well and could’ve easily won if the kickers had their shooting boots on, injuries cost shape, scrum more than held their own, Genia obviously was brilliant, I thought Ben Mowen had a great game, Hooper too.

I also think pro Referees have become superstars in their own right, e.g. Steve Walsh, Joubert et al and that IMO is wrong, we don’t pay our money to watch the Ref, we go to see the great game of rugby, they are simply adjudicators, charged with applying the rules of the game fairly and equally to both teams. 2nd Test Melbourne – bring it on!

Refereeing by numbers: the real threat to rugby
