Wardad, there always has been and there always will be. That is part and parcel of the game.
We don't want to know what goes on.....my Uncle was a Prop at Northampton. He enjoyed it though !!!
It's a talent, being able to cheat and get away with it, in the Scrum. Don't take the fun out if the game for the Front Row...they can't do anything else

Plum has not been on a big wind up Becs. Tech is being used in sport more and more and as far as i can tell it's generally for the betterment of sport and ensuring the correct team/player wins.
Remember the world cup where England score a goal and it was disallowed because the ref said it never crossed the line? Yet the ball was almost a meter over the line.
With the simple introduction of goal-line technology those sorts of errors have been entirely eradicated. Sure there are still other mistakes, but slowly it is improving. DUE TO TECHNOLOGY.
Becs i really think your stance on this is biased for some some reason.
And big NO, tech does not fail as much as humans do. If you think that's the case then some actual examples and objective comparisons would be smashing.
Anyhoos, i've made all the points i am able to about this so ultimately i'm just gonna agree to disagree with you Becs.
