Reducing scrums would only further hinder tight five development though.
I'm not necessarily against playing under different laws or to put it better interpretations in a purely domestic championship but I agree, any attempt to radically reduce the nature of scrums will be to our further detriment.
I do understand Beasties perspective, be it right or wrong. One of the main issues with the game in Australia is the perception that it's too slow and complicated. I don't agree with either sentiment. Rugby when played at pace is a marvelously exciting and enthralling spectacle well ahead of RL.
When its played at this pace the supposedly complicated nature to its laws are often an afterthought as the game itself is just that good. If any such competition regardless of which format is preferred does eventuate and if it is geared toward attracting an audience, then yes, perhaps we should look at introducing a few tweaks to up the pace.
