Memory Lane - Deconstruction of the Irish scrum March 2012


I love scrummaging. Its unique to rugby and is a metaphor for the game as a whole. Never before had I witnessed such a overwhelming display of forward power in the set-piece at international standard until this game (with the possible exception of Sheridan owning the aussie scrum in the 2007 WC). It's ten minutes long this video, but it teaches a few lessons about scrummaging without really even trying to. And before you start, I know their tighthead was playing out of position, but its impressive nonetheless.
