@ckush928 somewhat, there has to be an advantage to the team putting the ball in the scrum. There are a lot of nuances though. For example if the pressure is on the attacking scrum the ball is messy for the backs which makes it harder for the attack from the scrum to occur. It also means the loose forwards are on the back foot which impairs 'go forward'. The angle which the scrum moves is also important. A solid attacking scrum normally wants the ball angled towards the backline which moves the offside line (making it harder for the defending openside flanker) while also providing a better line for the initial pass from half back to first five. There are lots of subtleties. Being a dominant scrum is also a huge moral booster for the forwards in general. Forwards and trying to dominate physically throughout the game, and the is a large part of that. I could go on but these of some of the basics. If you're interested you should watch a number of high level games and it will make more sense.
I get this. But what happens when the referee throws the ball in between
The referee should not be throwing the ball in.
but why
Mate it's a sport
I love scrummin oh YEAH
It's an amazing part of the sport. It's like grappling in MMA but with 8 men. So many intricacies.
@@TheGuiseppe90 I am new so don't know much about this. Isn't the outcome of the scrum predictable?

This seems silly and very unnecessary for something as simple as a reset.
