Major League Rugby’s Laws To Depower The Scrum

Loading player...

Major League Rugby is depowering the scrum. The new season has just started and the league has introduced law variations aimed at having fewer scrums in games.

In this episode, Peter breaks down exactly what is going on and tries to paint a more positive picture of Major League Rugby ... at least for now.
