Watching the Saracens - Gloucester Hartpury replay this morning, and GH just deciding we're gonna scrum until some one dies is incredible. We're playing a new form of rugby, 8's. It's where you just scrum for 80 minutes. #Rugby #PWR

I actually only recently realized that you can always take the scrum after a penalty, so it was really smart for GH to keep asking for one when Saracens just kept giving up penalties 5 meters from their try line. Either you force a yellow card, or you bully them enough that you score. #Rugby #PWR

@itzyg I never remember that rule until someone surprises me by using it.

@josh0 It can be such a smart move, but as a lock I would feel conflicted if my captain kept calling for scrums

@itzyg 25 years on, I still feel like everything should be done to avoid a scrum, because our coash said so because we sucked at scrummaging.

@josh0 I wished the backs felt that way 😭
