The East Terrace on Scrum Caps

http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/story/154957.html

The whole article isn't up to their usual comedy standards, but the end is quite funny:


We want to develop a mocking culture towards anyone wearing the cap. Also, if you are a kicker and need to remove your scrum cap whilst taking a shot at goal, what does that say about how uncomfortable and stupid they are? Enough with this!"

Other proposals being considered should the outright ban fail include:

* Players posing for victory photos/lifting trophies in scrum caps (a la Michael Owen in Welsh Grand Slam of 2005) to be digitally removed from all images and airbrushed out of history.
* When referees unsure about a decision on the field they are always to give the benefit of the doubt to non-cap wearing players.
* Scrum caps to be covered in 'Watch out, you may give me an abrasion!' warning signs.
* Any player acting tough or trying to build a macho image (a la James Haskell) and wearing a cap to be mocked over tannoy system every five minutes during a match.
* Commentators obliged to insert terms such as 'cowardly', 'stupid looking', 'disgrace to the spirit of the game' before referencing players wearing scrum caps.
* Players wearing scrum caps on the field to be forced to wear them everyday, all day, even during their personal life.

The East Terrace attempted to gain comment from players who wear headgear for this article, but they were unable to hear us due to the muffling effects on ears of said caps. They were also scared of anyone coming near them and hid upon approach.

Wouldn't mind some of them being introduced!

My daughter says if a player wears a scrum cap, they should wear nothing else.
Propmted me to say its OK at women's beach volleyball, but I would prefer to see to no scrum caps in her Rugby scenario/dream.
