WATCH: Absolute Scrum Porn As Racing 92 & Pau Go At It in The Top 14
Beautiful.
For those of you that think scrums are boring and messy, you really need to take a look at the video below. When executed right by both sides, it becomes a thing of pure beauty.
Racing 92 and Pau recently went at it in the Top 14 with one of the most enjoyable scrums you will ever see taking place early in the second-half. A full 21 seconds pass between the scrumhalf feeding the ball and the hooker making the strike.
Pau’s forwards are currently being coached by former All Black Carl Hayman, and it’s safe to say his ability is rubbing off on his pack. Hayman is still regarded as one of the finest scrummagers the game has ever seen, and no doubt he enjoyed this one.
Former England and Bath prop David Flatman described it perfectly on Twitter:
“Pure beauty. Honest, unrelenting, skilful.”
Have a watch below.
