In the scrum shown, the number 8 enters the scrum late, the tight head (number 18 in the video) has his right hand on his knee while he should haveit fasing front ready to touch and grab the other pack, the first row knees should be almost touching the ground so its more difficult to other pack to entry well the scrum and push them back

Im 18 yeras old, I've played as hooker for 10 years (I play since i was 7 actually). First of all, If you want an offensive scrum the loose head (1) should be a bit more forward than the hooker (2) and tight head (3), this way the scrum can turn the way you want and the hooker have more space to hook the ball and the tight head is best positioned to resist the push from the other pack while the hooker and loose head push the other team

Not too bad. The front could have squatted a little deeper. U'd want ur shoulder to be as low as possible without getting lower than ur hips (for very very advanced front rows) if possible so ur body drive is horizontal and thus transferring all the momentum forward on the engage.

The best scrum I've seen was from Leicester where the hips and shoulders of 8 forwards were in a straight line and the opposition got pushed bk 3 feet instantly on the engage.

@IronMaiden3223 Im saying that IF the front row CANT get lower, the second row going lower will unravel the entire scrum.

[IronMaiden3223]

@AlexIsTheGrunge r u saying that the front row shouldnt get lower? and r u saying their second row is low enough?!? cause both r incorrect

[rrp482]

FAIL !!!!

[AlexIsTheGrunge]

@demosthenets cant deny the bad pass, but all the tight five need to be level to produce a solid pushing force. If the front row cant get lower, the second row going lower would destroy the scrum.

These aren't offensive tactics, this is what you HAVE to do.
