Referees are to blame

Brian Moore criticises the game's referees for allowing scrummaging to descend into farce in The Daily Telegraph.

"It used to be that what happened was of general import only when one pack destroyed the other giving a psychological and sometimes numerical advantage from penalties extracted from hapless opponents.

"The talk of a game within a game was apposite and sometimes front rows on the losing team really did come off the field inwardly satisfied that they had won the real war.

"This is the case no longer; there are no dark arts any more, it is just pushing and poor refereeing."
