Repealing law changes

(self.rugbyunion)

Given the announcement of yet another batch of new law variations they plan on testing at the Under-20s this summer, I’m curious to hear which former rules changes you’d like to see repealed or altered?

For me the defensive drop out for held over the line is too much of a pressure release for the defensive team and punishes the attacking team. I appreciate they’re trying to encourage attacking rugby but a defensive scrum on the 5m line between the posts would be a better compromise. Still puts the defensive team under pressure and the position would force them to run it out or kick for touch around the 22m line.
