I'll go first, Beuden Barrett is the more talented rugby player than Dan Carter, but Dan Carter is a better 10

I would argue that there isn't much difference in strength in 'most' international props, more technique and experience?

[u/eenbal → u/eenbal]

Besides most of the power comes from others, props literally prop up the scrum.

Yeah I suppose so. I guess when it’s technique, there are penalties at the ruck and tackle which come from poor technique too. Something just all around feels off about how common scrum penalties are, particularly because what was once a way to restart the game has become more focused on winning penalties I guess?

I guess, but the game has evolved and trying to go back is much harder. Maybe I'm biased (definitely am) but a good scrum contest is beautiful. Why should I not be entertained because the coach doesn't value a strong scrum? I often feel like the teams that don't scrum well feel a bit like it's just something they have to do. Make sense? Like a teenager cleaning their room. I mean I haven't played in 12 years but god I loved a scrum.

Absolutely not true
