Summary of Changes in 40 years
Less Set pieces = Less players tied together = less space on the pitch
More open play events = Defensive players outnumber attacking players = scoring
opportunities are fewer
Less Space = Less Tries
The average number of tries in 6 Nations 2013 was
2.5
The lowest in the history of 6 Nations

If yes, why is it important?
Questions
How important is the scrum?
Is it used as a way to restart the match or has it become a method to obtain penalties?
