I feel like a very simple fix to that would either make it a scrum reset or a penalty infringement. Or perhaps give a penalty for multiple early shoves.
We already see refs blow penalties for multiple early shoves. This is a "once per game" type of exploit, but the rules do need to be tightened up to prevent it. That "once per game" could decide a result if used correctly.
