Controlled safe rucking, not stamping, allows quicker access to the ball at the breakdown and stops delibrate slowing of the ball by the opposistion

I am one of the worst perpetrators of stopping clean ball for the opposing team while on the ground. If rucking were reinstated, I would think twice about keeping hands, feet, etc. in the vicinity of the ball.

The IRB are a farce. They dont want to make any decisions. They did not want to have the world cup in the first place whenit first started. it is now their biggest revenue raiser. they also did not want to know about sevens and it is now in the olympics.

As a coach I find this current law a blight on the game. It has done nothing to improve the game, rather the opposite. It has slowed the game caused opposing player to infringe at will with little or no consequence, and resulted in attacking play being nullified.

The changes to ruck laws have not improved fluidity at the break down. Change from short arm to full arm penalty has also had a negative impact on games demonstrated by the amount of negative play in the recent European test matches.

Tell the law makers and the administrators that Rugby is NOT a game that will attract ALL markets and in their efforts to attract all markets they are alienating the ones that LOVE the game. Rucking was banned to stop mothers getting upset on sidelines and "alienating" a certain market and the potential $$$ they may bring. It has resulted in rules and more rules being brought in which in turn has seen the target market confused and bored. While we are at let the scrum be a contest again

Until an alternative measure to punish lazy and foul players is created the amendment of this rule is the best short term solution. A player enforced game overseen by the referee is ideal - not a whistle blowing and boring slow playing spectacle.

Rucking has always been an important part of the game and helps to keep the flow of play going. In my experience of 25 years of playing, the injury risk is significantly over-stated.

The laws are currently killing the game as a spectacle and I believe this all began when rucking was outlawed. It's such a shame that the game so many love is being strangled by slow ball and death by kicking.

Opposition teams of all standards are taught to simply kill the ball at the breakdown and the referees either do nothing about it, or blow the whilstle far too much, thus ruining a teams momentum, particularly close to the line on attack.

Bringing back rucking means an attacking team can legally take control at the breakdown, rather than relying on the referee to manage the game effectively (which they rarely do).
