Put your boots near bodies now and you are inviting a date with the judiciary or at least a trip to the cooler, according to Wynne Gray in the New Zealand Herald.
"Former New Zealand whistler Paddy O'Brien has been with the International Rugby Board for the last four years managing referees, their workload, law changes and research into the game.
"He believes rucking would solve a number of issues if players learned those skills again. He laments the way players kill the ball because they know they will not be rucked. O'Brien is very clear, though, about the merits of rucking compared to maverick acts of stamping, stomping, kicking or tap-dancing. Law 16 was very precise."
