New England brawl video emerges as South Africa ‘bad for the sport’

Ex-Scotland coach turned pundit Matt Williams believes South Africa’s scrum-heavy approach isn’t good for the sport.

“It is not good for the other sides in the game like France, New Zealand, and Ireland, who are trying to play a more positive, ball in hand, entertaining game,” he said. “We are in the business of entertainment…

“Is it a 15-man game or an 8-man game? Right now, it has become so biased towards scrummaging and mauling. The game is totally out of balance.”
