[wdvltalk-social] All Blacks v Portugal prebiew #2

[michael ensor]

: the force applied in scrums is considerable. measured in tonnes..
: 
: if a scrum collapses potential outcomes are broken necks, backs, 
: paralysis or death......
: 
: As Portugal are effectively an amateur side and inexperienced at this
: level of rugby they are at risk........
: 
: A scrum can be depowered by the players binding but not 'pushing'
: in various permutations.........
: 
: sometimes you will see a referee declaring that a scrum is
: 'uncontested'....there is no push  at all -  this is for safety reasons
: when there is an absent specialist front rower.....
: 
: but of course you knew all that J.....<g>
