I put all the "issues" down to teething problems as players taught under the old system adjust to the new (old) way of contesting scrums.
Nothing really wrong with what they are trying to do. Just don't expect it to be 100% immediately. Like any cultural change, it will take time. Persevere with it.
There are plenty of us old enough to remember how it worked, and it was good, and it was a contest man vs man, team vs team.
Strength, technique, teamwork and timing were rewarded.
Isn't this what we want from a scrum?
