bring back the straight feed....that will sort out half the problems...at the "top level" of the game, most hookers are acting like props rather than being ready to hook....enforce the straight feed and watch the hookers change their body position....

Played tighthead for twenty years. Looser jerseys. No rolling substitutions. Get rid of the "touch, pause" -- once the ref is satisfied with the positioning, go straight to "engage."

Hi Andy,
Scottish Rugby has had rolling subs for a few years now for all games up to and including Prem 1 (tier below Magners League). Each team can have up to 5 subs (4 only in cup) with max of 12 interchanges.
Seems to work pretty well - if a player takes a knock (s)he can be subbed off for assessment before rejoining, and it means more players are getting at least some rugby.
ShaunE's concerns should be reduced if you limit the number of subs, not many teams will think it worth employing a monster prop as 25% of their bench. It also means more players are multi-function - hookers able to play flanker or flankers as centres.
In the cup the most common formation of the bench might be 2 front row, 1 flanker/lock and a backs sub.
If the County Championship adopt this method it will work well, if they keep 7 subs it will be awful.

Ah the scrum, i like your second suggestion of just playing on once they go down, especially in the internationals.
Another suggestion could be to make sure the front row are wearing looser jerseys so they can be gripped onto. Gone are the days when there was plenty of blubber on the side of a prop for you to hold on to. A little extra jersey may help with the grip.

What do you have against Balshaw? At least he scored a tries!
On scrums: why not conduct a sort of video citing system after games. This could pinpoint the negative scrummagers and penalise them in some way. Suspensions would be a bit too strong, though, wouldn't it. Fines? To charity? Perhaps a ban on pie eating?

The easiest way to keep the scrum up is, on the engage command let the loosehead take the hit whilst having his left hand on his thigh. He can then take the correct bind when stable. All front rowers should have loose fitting shirts so the props can bind on them.
