What is meant by an "uncontested" scrum ?
Answers:
Law 3.13 (e) An uncontested scrum is the same as a normal scrum, except that the teams do not compete for the ball, the team throwing in the ball must win it, and neither team is allowed to push.
is it when the one team delibritly collapses the scrum on purpose to gain advantage?
Cy got it right, usually used in junior rugby, or if there is an injury/sinned binned forward. This happened last year when Wales played Italy, Italy had no spare forwards so the scrum was uncontested!
only one side have brought their axes ?
see my 2 learned friends above like a drop ball in football when the the ref tells the players to surrender possession, true sportsmanship.
Welsh Chic is spot on!
To play in a scrum you need to be fully trained to avoid serious injuries so when there aren't enough front row players (injury,sinbined) you can't engage in a full on scrum!
So the players gather in like normal scrum but don't 'shove'.
If you'd had asked about the other code which is known as Rugby League, I could have helped you.
A Hooker in the middle of the front row, does not have the use of his arms. This is dangerous unless he is experienced.
An international team, by law, must have a replacement Hooker.
If no specialist Hooker is available the scrums must be uncontested, meaning no pushing, and the same side who put in, win the ball.
It is for safety, to prevent inexperienced Hookers getting their neck broken.
