Great Analysis. Seems refs are on to the Sheering technique as well as the loosehead walking around the corner. May take another 12 months but seems like we are getting closer to a real fair contest at scrum time. Seems like Argentina are back to leading the way which is great to see. Curious to know what you thought of the scrums in Japan Scotland. Would make an interesting contrast to what you saw here.
Good analysis Scott. Love watching your analysis. Hooper is great in open play, he is terrible in scrums. Most Wallaby scrums are unstable because Hooper is meerkating or simply paying lip service to scrummaging. 2nd scrum, England only get the wheel on when Hooper pops up early. Also in most... not all scrums, you will notice that the prop under pressure is usually on Hoopers side. If you watched the 2nd Puma game you will notice the Wallabies focussed on an 8 man scrum. Hooper stayed down.
Thanks Robin - agree with you but the purpose of the analysis was to determine where infringements were, certainly not to call for more penalties to disrupt the game. In both scrums the team that won the ball was the one that could have received the penalty so no impact on the match.
Australias number 8 looks more interested in watching that pushing, the back row seems horrible :/ Great analysis, learnt more about scrums from this than all the rugby ive seen played before.
Great analysis as always, Scott. As a referee though, I have to disagree on scrums 8 and 14. In both cases, the ball gets out quickly and play goes on. With the amount of scrum penalties that had to be given away, I think awarding another penalty in these situations would be a case of over-officiating. They weren't very material to the flow of the game and after all, the goal of a scrum is to restart play, not award a penalty.
Need more of this for 2015 Scott!
Aussie tighthead seems to be constantly binding on the arm and not a long arm binding too

Great analysis Scott. Can you please show your video to Matt Rowley of G&G Rugby?

Awesome work! Notice the amount of times Hooper and Mowen have their heads up mid-scrum? And the Aussies blame their poor scrumming the ref?
Very fair analysis.
why did you stop making videos??
lol ... you just delete comments that point out you're contradicting yourself?
The image of M.Vunipola xD...
2nd scrum the Aussie is binding on the arm
