That is their choice. However the great thing about rugby union is that at every age level there is a position for every size. Making the scrum a specialist contest with technique that few can master means there are some fatties on the field. These boys smash you if you get too close but they are the weakness in defence wide out as they will often leave gaps for the faster guys to get through. If you devalue the scrum in any way we will end up with a more homogenous group of players more and more like league. Me? I like diversity!
