Lineen claims laws need to be changed

Glasgow coach Sean Lineen believes that the time has come for some major tweaks to rugby's rules. He speaks to David Ferguson in the Scotsman.

"Rucking, he believes, has to be allowed to return to the game, with studs on bodies the only route to tidying up a 'breakdown' area that is now spoken of more than anything else in rugby and becoming a frustratingly apt description of the modern game.

"On top of that, the former Scotland Grand Slam-winning centre, insists that the scrum's 'hit', where the two packs batter into each other at the start of the scrum, should be scrapped altogether as it is the root cause of the plethora of momentum-jarring re-set scrums."
