For every scrum possession we lose we will steal a lineout.
I wouldn't be too sure about that, but I am pretty sure of England's poor backs.Quote:

Something I'd like to know- is it illegal to wheel the scrum before the ball is put in? I always thought it was but against Wales they were doing that constantly to put enormous pressure on Benny Alexander (GAGR has a video of it if anyone's interested).
Yea, it can be penalized and probably should if its constantly deliberate.

20.1(k) Stationary and parallel. Until the ball leaves the scrum half’s hands, the scrum must be stationary and the middle line must be parallel to the goal lines. A team must not shove the scrum away from the mark before the ball is thrown in.
Penalty: Free Kick
Unfortunately we have an ordinary Captain.
last chance
I think we've all done our v-dough!
SETTLED

Well done....Normie "the plunge:
quade "speed bump" cooper needs some tackling lessons.. Giteau needs to be dropped, our captain needs to be changed, Beale needs to stop chipping in no mans land and we need a new coach as it was clear they were trying to follow a different game plan to previous weeks and why i dont know.
