The Sale director of rugby, Steve Diamond, has called on the authorities to get rid of lengthy delays caused by scrums, which he believes are blighting the modern game

Diamond claimed Premiership clubs’ duty to entertain has been enhanced by the absence of crowds and he hit out at the amount of time wasted by preparing for and resetting scrums. One of the temporary law changes introduced by World Rugby in May was to eliminate reset scrums – a measure designed to reduce the risk of infection from Covid-19 rather than to speed up play – but the Premiership immediately rejected it.

If you want to make rugby less boring then do away with penalties for anything except foul play. The rest, e.g. off-side, should just incur free kicks. Continued incursions, however, will deserve yellow cards.

Wearing masks?

Ffs.
