Stopped watching Rugby many years ago for this very reason, even though I played it when young. Repeatedly collapsing scrums, whatever the reason, are not fun to watch, and the human body is not designed to withstand the forces inside there.

@nanda, do you think it's time we ditch the scrum (like they do in league)?

Dunno what to think tbh, still thinl that scrummaging, tackling etc IS very much part of rugby but we can't ignore the fact that concussions and scrum/tackle injuries are becoming a real issue. Today's players are just too big/strong/fast.
