We aren't even used to the crouch touch set....

 Props will now be required to pre-bind before the “hit”, so the scrum call will change from “crouch, touch, set” to “crouch, bind, set”.

They changing it again.... How long ago was it changed, last year?

Hell IRB should really start to make up their mind.

Do you guys feel that the current situation deserves a change or has it not been implemented long enough to really be able to say?

 Yeah seems every tournament that starts they have to get used to new rules. Rules aren't even consistently changed across the board. Herewith the new rules for the Currie Cup. The Players that play in the RC and come back to CC will have to adjust quickly. Glad refs have to police the str4aight throw in at the scrum more stricly. But apart from the Scrum rules, nothing else that is major.

The new Laws will not apply to the Rugby Championship, or the remainder of the current Super Rugby season.

The most notable changes to the game will be in the scrums. All the changes are:

• Props will now be required to pre-bind before the “hit”, resulting in the scrum call being changed from “crouch, touch, set” to “crouch, bind, set”
• The front rows crouch and using their outside arm each prop must bind. A loose head prop must bind on the opposing tight head prop by placing the left arm inside the right arm of the tight head and gripping the tight head prop’s jersey on the back or side. A tight head prop must bind on the opposing loose head prop by placing the right arm outside the left upper arm of the opposing loose head prop and gripping the loose head prop’s jersey with the right hand only on the back or side. The props must not grip the opponent’s chest, arm, sleeve, or collar.
• Referees have been told to more strictly police a straight feed by scrumhalves into the scrum
• Rugby fields may be no longer than 100m in length and 70m in width, while the in-goal area should not exceed 22m in depth.
• Fields for international matches and International Sevens Rugby must be as close as possible to the maximum size, and no less than 94m in length and 68m in width, while the in-goal area has to be a minimum of 6m in length.
• The match-day doctor for Test matches will be the sole adjudicator on whether a player has a blood injury or not. (SARU already ensures that match-day doctors are appointed for all International, Super Rugby and all Currie Cup Premiership matches).
• All players diagnosed with or suspected of having concussion need to be removed from the match or training session and may take no further part in that particular match or training session. The player diagnosed with concussion needs to follow the management protocol as described in the  IRB Concussion Guidelines (www.irbplayerwelfare.com ) before they may return to full contact participation.
• Judicial Officers have been given the freedom to apply sanctions of less than 50% of the lower-end entry and in some cases no sanction for offences. In the past they could only apply a minimum of 50% of the entry-level sanction.
• Yellow cards may now be expunged from a player’s disciplinary record in the case of mistaken identity, while red cards could be expunged if a judicial officer believes the offence did not warrant a red card. This was not previously allowed.

Yip, they should really just make their minds up and get it done with. I really don't care what they settle on anymore, just so long they settle on something for at least 2 years. It's the constant changes that frustrate me. I am sure it frustrates the players as well.

The changes and the time these scrums take. One really notices it at the end of close tests....a sequence of failed scrums can suck up much of the remaining time. Often leaving the test to be decided by the inevitable penalty.....as was the case in the Lions vs Oz.
