The scrum is what makes rugby unique. Scrums often look like little piles of people created at the beginning of each play, where the two teams push against each other. A team who can scrummage well has a great advantage, both offensively and defensively.
A scrum consists of 8 players from each team. Each team supplies 3 rows in the scrum:
Front Row: 2 Props (Numbers 1 and 3) and Hooker (#2) Second Row: 2 Locks (Numbers 4 and 5) Back Row: 2 Flankers (Numbers 6 and 7) and Number 8
The hooker directs the action in the scrum, and all other members of the scrum (affectionately dubbed "scrummies") are attuned to listen for the hooker's calls.
Matt: CORRECT
Record: 61-38
