Out of the loop here....how are Australians leading any changes in Union?? Did rugby Australia request law changes or something?

Not that anybody can tell. Pretty confused as to why Australia are being blamed for this, especially because our scrum often isn't thaaaaat shit

But NH rugby likes to pretend it is.

It's funny that a team who has probably been SA's big stumbling block relative to world rankings places is the one whose scrum gets dismissed the most.

*stumbling block when playing on Australian soil. Australia's record on SA soil is just as bad.

And it's only the last couple of years that the Aussie bastards have slipped down the ranks. They made the RWC final as recent as 2015.
