2. Uncontested scrums
One suggestion to help speed rugby’s safe return from former England and Lions wing Ugo Monye would be for uncontested scrums in the early rounds.
“It’s summer rugby, let’s see the ball in play, let’s see some backs moves on brilliant hard surfaces and we can chuck the ball around,” said Monye.
“Uncontested scrums will allow forwards to spend a little bit more time in training to get the detail, to get their bodies up to speed technically as well as physically without rushing them.”
