World Cup winning former All Blacks and Black Ferns coach Wayne Smith believes the driving maul is 'legalised obstruction' and should be banned from rugby.
World Cup winning former All Blacks and Black Ferns coach Wayne Smith believes the driving maul is “legalised obstruction” and should be banned from rugby.
In last year’s World Cup final, New Zealand conceded three tries from the driving maul against a 14-player England side, but managed to hold out to win 34-31., Smith explained why he believes the maul should be banned from rugby.“There are six or seven forwards in front of the ball. There is no access to the ball. It is legalised obstruction. I would get rid of it entirely.
Smith was talking to writer Mark Reason, as part of a column supporting the coach’s view on the maul.
