Every non scrum penalty in the 22 is a yellow card.

It's a game for all shapes and sizes, remember?

Weight limits work at age grade levels but trying to enforce that at professional level would fuck the game. You start prescribing stuff like that and you end up with a monocultural mess of repeat pattern clone contests.

I was thinking more of a combined team weight so you could have a couple of bruisers but might have to get a couple of small wingers.

I reckon that's the most easily achievable way to transform the game and make it

i) more competitive

ii) more attractive
