Once Tatafu Polota-Nau went off injured, the Waratahs scrum started going backwards dramatically, then improved until the last quarter of the match when it fell […]

Here’s the video for part 2 of our scrum analysis. I’ve included scrums showing both tighthead and loosehead sides. I’ve also added some still frames and slow motion footage at relevant points and posed some questions.
