In another shocking display of common sense the IRB has changed the current scrummaging procedure by calling time on the referee's verbal 'Yes, Nine' instruction for the scrum half to put the ball into the scrum.
All very sensible given that the current situation undoubtedly helps the team without the put-in get ready to drive.
Instead the emphasis will switch back to the flankers screaming "READY, READY, READY NOW" much like the good old days.
What is intriguing though is that the referee will now use an as yet unspecified non-verbal means of telling the scrum half when to put the ball in - a nudge being as good as a wink to a blind man, say no more...
