@antipodean You can solve that by letting the team with the two injuries play with 14 men during the scrum, and then allowing a fifteenth player on after the next stoppage.
No. You're missing the point. A team may elect to swap out a tight forward for more pace.
Anyway, well done Auckland. Brilliant final.

Fucking awesome! The boy is super stoked with that! He's dancing around the room
What a comeback given the conditions - said they'd need some magic and they produced a fair bit with Akira leading the charge.
Credit to both teams, the skills on display in the wet were outstanding. The game didn't deteriorate at all, in fact it seemed to improve.

You can solve that by ruling that the replacement player must be a prop, if both hookers are injured.

And if you don't have a prop left?
This isn't difficult to understand.

@antipodean They could allow bringing on a prop who has been replaced.

Can you imagine how much extra fucking around at every stoppage that would entail? For that reason alone it's a terrible idea.

What if they're injured? Instead of trying to make something fucking complex, accept it's a simple solution.
